7 Whimsical Cherry Blossom Places In Daegu

When we went on a food trip to Daegu to explore all the deliciousness the city has to offer last fall, a local taxi driver had mentioned to us very proudly that Daegu offers the best cherry blossom sceneries in the country.

With spring just around the corner and the beautiful seasonal colours blooming and brightening up the streets, we knew we had to head over to the city again.

In this blog, we list 7 stunning cherry blossom spots that we visited in Daegu. Be sure to add these to your list if you're planning a spring trip to Daegu in the future!

Ayang Bridge
아양교

Public Transit: Dongchon Station Exit 2

You can get off at Ayanggyo Station too, but getting off at Dongchon Station gets you started on the cherry blossom trail that extends all the way to the bridge!

If you travel to Daegu by KTX and get off at Dongdaegu Station, this is a great place to start your cherry blossom journey as it's only 3 subway stops away.

Unfortunately when we visited, the cherry blossoms had mostly fallen off and some of them were already turning green.

But if you visit when they're in full bloom, every corner of the trail is Insta-worthy!

This is the cherry blossom trail that reaches all the way to the bridge.

We could definitely get a glimpse of spring at Ayang Bridge. If you're looking for a nice, breezy walk surrounded by cherry blossoms and water, this is it!

Among locals, the campus is known for its mesmerizing landscape and of course, cherry blossoms, which makes it perfect for a romantic tour.

We entered through Gate 01 where the Global Plaza building is located and you'll see an area occupied by lots of cherry blossom trees right away.

There were lots of students taking photos under the flowers in groups of 2-4!

The beauty of the campus made us wonder what life would be like as a KNU student.

This magnificent public park offers cherry blossom views around its bicycle path and trail, and it is considered one of the key cherry blossom spots in Daegu.

In 2018, themed photo zones were created where LED lights decorate the stunning flowers, trees and plants once the sun goes down.

Many couples can be seen taking selfies together in front of the nicely lit backgrounds.

In the evening, this area gets filled with hungry locals who are looking to grab a bite to eat. Dining options are wide from traditional Korean to fusion Japanese and Italian.

Whether it's with coffee or food, the cherry blossom views you get through the windows of these venues are alluring!

One of the most popular cafes on the cafe street has to be a.nook.

We visited on our previous cafe trip to Daegu and it is also considered one of the most beautiful cafes to experience cherry blossoms over coffee just as you can see in the photo below!

Suseong Lake

The long trail that goes around the lake is a beloved place among Daegu locals for a quiet walk and exercise.

The trail gets surrounded left and right by arrays of cherry blossoms come spring, which makes the walk around the lake park even more marvelous.

There are lots of cute cafes and brunch spots along the trail, so if you're feeling for a snack or drinks, you'll definitely not be short of options.

The overall atmosphere of LIT is calm and relaxing, each room offering a cozy space.

Their strawberry cake (7,000 won) is highly recommended! The cream of the cake is especially smooth and complements the moist cake layers and strawberries well.

Overall, it was one of the best cherry blossom trips we've had in Korea!

Not only is Daegu a worthy place to visit for cherry blossoms, the city offers a lot more from food, cafes, nature and fun activities.

We hope you enjoy the city as much as we did when you visit!
