The sea with its gulls lies on the other side, so the color of these azaleas is really breathtaking. The azalea is the most familiar flower we know. It is also known as the Ch'am Flower. On March 3rd in the lunar calendar, women used to make cakes with azaleas to welcome spring. Men used azaleas to make wine.
Honeyed juice mixed with azaleas is a special dish served for the ceremonial feast.
It can also be used as a medicine. Due to frequent spring rains and low temperatures this year, azaleas will bloom later than in previous years. In the southern regions, the peak-time of azaleas will be the first and second week of April.
