Find peace and Enjoy the Beauty of Spring at Wolgok History Park
Are you looking for a place to walk around, relax and enjoy the beauty of spring but don’t want to go faraway? Visit Wolgok History Park, a park located near Wolchon Station on the Red Line of Daegu Subway. It’s a small park yet a nice place to visit. It’s pretty quiet which is good for relaxation. The bamboo forest trail from the main entrance leading to the museum and even the old Korean-style houses are a great background for a photo

The best time to visit Wolgok History Park is when pretty pink Donarium cherry blossoms located near the back gate are in full bloom.

Donarium cherry blossoms are locally known as “gyeop beotkkot” (layered cherry blossoms) due to its layered petals. Some people also call it “wang beotkkot” (king’s cherry blossoms). However, the real “wang beot kkot” is slightly different from the Donarium cherry blossoms.

When the weather is nice, many people come to the park to take photos of and with the Donarium cherry blossoms. With their light pink tint, the donarium cherry blossoms look really pretty in photos. Even when it is raining they still look so pretty.
Aside from the Donarium cherry blossoms, the azaleas were also in full bloom. The scenery around the park looked really nice. The fresh green leaves of the trees and the bright colors of the flowers in bloom seemed more vibrant because of the rain.

Other things to see at the park are the Nakdong Seowon, Wolgok History Museum, and a seated statue of General Wolgok, Woo Bae-seon (월곡 우배선 장군), the general to whom the park was named after.

Though our little adventure to Wolgok History Park was short, I really enjoyed the beauty, freshness and quietness of the place. I will certainly re-visit this place when the weather is a lot better.
