Suncheon Bay National Garden, Korea's first official national garden, will present another spring flower spectacle this weekend, as 1.5 million tulips come into full bloom.

On April 9, Suncheon City announced that it will hold the spring festival "Tulip Wannabeom" over two days, from April 11 to 12, centered around the Netherlands Garden, with tulips as the main theme.

According to Suncheon City, this event is designed not just for flower viewing, but as a participatory spring program where visitors can experience and record the garden themselves.

First, a "Tulip Drawing Program" will be operated, with 100 participants. Participants will use tablets to draw their own spring day against the backdrop of the blooming tulips, and the completed works will be digitally archived. This is expected to offer a new garden experience, moving beyond simply viewing flowers to personally capturing moments of spring.

In addition, a variety of tulip-themed hands-on activities will be available. These include decorating tulip ballpoint pens, making tulip balloons, creating personalized garden doorbells, crafting tulip-scented perfumes, and trying flower tattoos. Through these sensory experiences, the event aims to create special memories for visiting families.

In particular, the windmill observatory, a symbol of the Netherlands Garden, will be specially opened for this event. Visitors can enjoy not only the view from the ground but also the spectacular scenery of tulips from above, experiencing the garden from a fresh perspective.

Furthermore, the national garden souvenir shop will be newly decorated as a pop-up store, and the "Sweet Snack Shop," offering treats such as cotton candy and ice cream, will also be in operation. Blending flowers, experiences, and culinary delights, this event will be a three-dimensional spring festival where visitors can see, create, and taste.

A Suncheon City official said, "April is the most beautiful season for Suncheon Bay National Garden, and we have prepared a special experience to coincide with the peak of the tulip bloom. We hope that everyone visiting the garden will spend a spring day enjoying, staying among, and remembering the flowers."
