Hidden Gem of Iksan｜Healing Moments in Hwangdeung Garden's Flower Season

"The moment I pushed open the wooden gate, I tumbled into a Miyazaki summer—Hwangdeung Garden in Jeollabuk-do wove a pink-and-purple dream with endless hydrangeas." Why You Must Visit: ✨ Decade-First Limited Romance Opening to the public for the first time in 2025! Century-old hanok houses frame tens of thousands of hydrangeas, with cobblestone paths drowned in blue-purple floral waves.

Sit at "Daewoljeong Pavilion" listening to wind chimes—anxiety melts away instantly. ✨ Secret Photo Route - Entrance "Flower Tunnel": Wisteria cascades like a purple waterfall (best late May) - Backyard "Moonlight Pond": Hydrangeas and hanok eaves reflected at dusk = perfect silhouette shots ⚠️ Hard-Earned Tips: ✅ Bloom Period: Now through mid-July (peaked on June 10!). Petals glow after rain. ✅ Outfit: Mint green/cream linen dresses! Straw bags + lace parasols = max aesthetics 🚫 Avoid: Crowded weekends—charge straight in at 9am Wednesdays 🍵 Bonus: Exit teahouse "Hwasang" serves limited-edition hydrangea iced tea—refreshingly tart.
