View staysSee the flowers before the paths get crowded
Arrive early
The flower paths around Bulgapsa Temple draw the largest crowds on weekends and around sunset.
Stay for the lights
Evening lighting and the media facade create a different route after the daytime flower walk.
Use the shuttle
Festival shuttles may be easier than driving close to the temple when parking areas fill.
