The city of Macon is home to 350,000 Yoshino trees thanks to the efforts of two residents: William A. Fickling Sr., who began propagating the trees in the \u201950s, and Carolyn Crayton, who spearheaded a community effort to plant them in the \u201970s. You can view the trees all over the city, including along Ingleside Avenue, or Third Street, in Wesleyan Woods and on Fickling Farm. The Cherry Blossom Festival, which has been running since 1982, begins on 22 March, with pageants, balls and even a wiener dog race\u2026 no, we\u2019re not too sure what that has to do with sakura, either.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/cherryblossom.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cherryblossom.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/inspiration\/lesser-known-places-in-georgia-usa\/\">Journey to Georgia: Lesser-known places well worth a visit<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-619034\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Seoul, South Korea<\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_1339457162-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-85053\" alt=\"Cherry trees lining the pavement in Yeouido Hangang Park in Seoul\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Yeouido Hangang Park in bloom (Shutterstock)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div id=\"wak-acf-block-226417\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Japan might historically have stolen most of the attention when it comes to cherry blossom season, but South Korea is increasingly becoming a destination to visit in the spring months. Rather than sakura, the blooms here are known as \ubc97\uaf43 (<em>beotkkot<\/em>), and are a slightly different species to those found in Japan. You can find them all over the country, with the first blooms typically starting on Jeju Island in the third week of March, but those visiting the capital Seoul will have to wait until the start of April. In Seoul, you can experience the Yeouido Cherry Blossom Festival, with more than 1,500 king cherry trees concentrated in the area, or head to other popular viewing spots like the five palaces or Seoul Forest. Nami Island is also a popular day-trip from Seoul to see the blooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read next:\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/inspiration\/trip-planner-choose-your-ideal-adventure-in-south-korea\/\">Trip planner: Choose your ideal adventure in South Korea<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\n\n    <div id=\"wak-acf-block-573608\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-article-image wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n                \r\n        <h3 class=\"wak-title wak-h3\">Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada <\/h3>\r\n                    \n<picture>\n    <source media=\"(max-width:575px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-700x470.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(max-width:991px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <source media=\"(min-width:992px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-1280x693.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-2560x1386.jpg 2x\">\n    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-350x250.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-350x250.jpg, https:\/\/www.wanderlustmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/shutterstock_2036227940-700x470.jpg 2x\" class=\"attachment-85055\" alt=\"Cherry blossoms outside Vancouver City Hall\" width=\"350\" height=\"250\"><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture>   \r\n        \r\n        <span class=\"wak-caption wak-image-caption-text\">Vancouver City Hall has cherry blossom trees outside(Shutterstock)<\/span>    <\/div>\r\n\n\n<div class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-sidebar-content\" data-ad=\"in_content_4\"><div id=\"wak-acf-block-674252\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-content-layout-default wak-acf-block-advert wak-ad-in_content_4\" data-placement-id=\"63379\" data-advert-visible=\"1\">\n    \n    <div class=\"wak-advert-container\">\n        \n            <div id=\"div-gpt-ad-63379\">\n                <script>\n                    googletag.cmd.push(() => { \n                        googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-63379'); \n                    });\n                <\/script>\n            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div id=\"wak-acf-block-421834\" class=\"wak-acf-block wak-acf-block-copy-content wak-content-layout-default\">\r\n        <div class=\"wak-copy wak-body-standard-text\"><p>Vancouver\u2019s love affair with cherry blossom trees began a century ago when the mayors of Kobe and Yokohama donated 500 trees to be planted at the Stanley Park cenotaph in honour of Japanese Canadian veterans of WWI.
