source: visit busan

Heralding the arrival of summer, the 16th Taejongdae Hydrangea Flower Culture Festival will take place from July 4 to 12 at Taejongsa Temple and the nearby Sports Park within Taejongdae Resort Park. 

Each summer, the paths leading to Taejeongsa Temple burst into color as thousands of hydrangeas bloom amid the lush greenery, creating one of Busan’s most beloved seasonal landscapes. Cultivated over more than four decades, around 5,000 hydrangeas representing more than 30 varieties bloom against sweeping views of the sea, drawing countless residents and visitors alike.

Beyond the hydrangeas themselves, the festival offers plenty to enjoy. Alongside busking performances, visitors can take part in hands-on activities such as hydrangea-themed DIY fan-making and squishy-making workshops, browse a craft market and enjoy snacks from food trucks. 

Throughout the festival period, Taejongdae’s signature Danubi Train will be specially decorated with hydrangea-themed displays, adding an extra touch of seasonal charm. To make getting around even easier, shuttle buses taking visitors back to the park entrance after the Danubi Train ends service will operate on extended schedules.
