This was shot at Gang Hwa island (강화도) in South Korea. Gang Hwa Do (or Gang Hwa Do island) is famous for azalea festival from April 20 to May 1. But, this year the spring started two weeks early than usual year. As a result I saw the end of the azalea blooming when I visited this island.
The pics those you see now was shot at Goryo San (=고려산) in Gang Hwa Do, South Korea. Gang Hwa Do is located 50 Km away from Seoul to the west.
We, Korea, have 5,000 years of history. The history started from Gang Hwa Do. To pin point the place is Ma Ni San(마니산) Cheom Sung Dan (첨성단). the Ma Ni San is not far from Go Ryo San. You can enjoy Ma Ni San too, if you want to go.
Those are enjoying the flowers, even thought it is already the end of the blooming season. You can fill it from the gesture of the people.
Hana, Dull, Set, Say Kimchi. Kimchi has the same pronunciation with cheese, so Koreans say Kimchi when they taks picture.
Why not enjoy this pic.

This is dolmen. (Grave)
Gang Hwa Do also famous for Korean Ginseng which is the best in the world as anti disease and organic food. In Korea, there is old saying that Food and Medicine have same origin.
Enjoy the beautiful azalea and real Korean 5,000 years old history in Gang Hwa Do.
The average blooming season of the azalea from April 20 to May 1 in Go Ryo San, but consider the change of the temperatures.
