After the last cold snap of the Spring goes away and April arrives, cherry blossoms start to bloom on a 4km-long road in Hwagae which is located between two provinces, Jeolla-do and Gyeongsang-do. This famous road called ‘Shimni Beotkkot’ which means ‘4km of cherry blossoms, is also referred to as the ‘Wedding Road’ because there is an old legend saying that a couple who loves each other can live happily together for the rest of their lives when they walk this road holding hands. And many couples around the country visit Hadong to walk this romantic road. The cherry blossoms that bloom like white snowflakes also decorate a 25km-long road referred to as ‘Hwagaedongcheon’ which means ‘flower-blooming place that is touching the sky’ and holds various colorful cultural events.

Hwagae Market is one of the five biggest traditional market, which once flooded with people. It also appears as the background setting in Kim Dong-ri's novel, Yeokma (which means stagecoach in English). The market is one of the most visited attractions along with Ssanggyesa Temple and Jirisan Mountain due to it's location near a cherry blossom path. A market that offers a variety of local products and delicacies, you could count the number of markets of this scale in Korea on one hand.
Ssanggyesa Temple was founded on the southern foothills of Jirisan Mountain in 722 during the reign of Silla King Seongdeok. The temple is famous for the 6-kilometer stretch of cherry blossom trees that bloom each spring. The temple was originally called Okcheonsa Temple but was changed to the current Ssanggyesa Temple in 887. The current temple buildings were all built-in 1632, after having been burned down during the Imjin War (1592-1598). The temple grounds and nearby area feature many historic and beautiful attractions, including Burilpokpo Falls and a large tea plantation.
