If you have use a Google Translator Plugin or your phone can translate it, it’s still nice to have.. you can check it >here or by clicking on the picture.

List of Seoul’s 85 Beautiful Spring Flower Paths

Well, actually the Seoul Metropolitan Government chose 173 paths which you can find in the Map mentioned above.. but the Korean pdf I got from the city just included the following 85 places (some of the most popular ones I mentioned in my >Cherry Blossom Guide are not included for example, so make sure to check this one too).

Also please understand that I was not able to check the exact locations of all those spots and that it might be difficult finding them in English or on Google Maps. And as usual please keep in mind, that Spring Blossom Timings are dependent on maaaaaany things and that it’s very hard to give a proper forecast here.
