Spring flowers are already in full swing in the southern regions due to the warm weather, but various spring festivals are canceled this year following last year.
The parking lot is also closed with a banner saying don't come, but it doesn't seem easy to stop tourists from enjoying the spring.
Reporter Song Seong-joon has been there.

Gwangyang Maehwa Village in Jeollanam-do, where plum blossoms, the messenger of spring, are in full bloom.
Banners were hung on the roads to the village to inform the cancellation of the festival and refrain from visiting due to Corona 19.
Even though the large parking lot at the entrance of the flower village was closed this year, it could not prevent Sangchun visitors from coming.
Cars stood with their tails up to 2km away from the village, and tour buses and passenger cars occupied the surrounding vacant spaces.
Today (13th) alone, more than 30,000 people flocked, and visitors seemed to follow the quarantine rules relatively well, including wearing masks.
I enjoyed the spring scenery while taking pictures with the plum blossoms in bloom like snow.
[Eunji Lee/Jinju City, Gyeongnam: There are too many cars, so I thought it would be okay, but I'm trying to wear masks as well as I can. I'm trying to go around carefully.] The
situation was also similar to Sansuyu Village in Gurye, Jeollanam-do, where the festival was canceled.
An illegally parked vehicle occupied one lane of the town driveway.
It was fortunate that there were more family outings than group tourists.
[Park Chul-ho/Yongin-si, Gyeonggi-do: I was careful, but I tried to go to places that are not too crowded while keeping the quarantine rules as much as I could.]
Even though the festival was canceled, there were not a few spring customers coming

Is pouring.
