Guri Hangang Park Seoul Rapeseed Flower Festival 2015 구리한강시민공원 유채꽃 축제

Sorry for not writing for such a long long time, forgive me~~~
so this is another post to make up my fault kkk
This post mainly will talk about the canola flower or rapeseed flower in korea they called it yuchaekkut 유채꽃
I search it online for Korean Canola Festival, but mostly all the blogs or website said that i can only found it in Jeju and Busan, i really want to see huge yellow field of rapeseed flower so badly andd..... taadaa after search it in naver (cant blame  google since all korean post it in korean based search provider) i finally found that in seoul i can see that pretty yellowy flower too.. which make me overly excited.

Based on the blog last year it was held in Banpo Hangang Park 반포 한강시민공원 in the artificial island named Sorae 서레솜and another one was held in Guri Hangang Park 구리 한강시민공원
since Banpo Park is nearer than Guri i decided to went there 1 week before festival. And when i arrived every bridge to the island was closed and it said due to renovation and it wil be done by the end of june which make me soooo sad during that time, but it didn't stopped me to search further and decide to went there 1 week after the festival because during the festival most of the picture shown the flower arent fully bloomed yet.
