Visitors can enjoy the fully bloomed narcissus flowers along the 2.7 km-long narcissus cultivation site trail.

Additionally, a narcissus garden and a lawn plaza have been newly created, and photo zones and resting areas are installed throughout, offering a healing travel experience.

Various experiential programs such as cycling around Seondo, a slow mail box where letters are received a year later, making unique flower bracelets, and tasting flower tea will be held, along with a narcissus flower painting exhibition and a Seondo photo exhibition.

The Narcissus Festival Promotion Committee plans to sell various goods and flower pots inspired by narcissus flowers to visiting tourists.

Seondo is about a 50-minute car ferry ride from Garyong Ferry Terminal in Amhae-eup, Shinan-gun. To ensure a vehicle-free festival, the county has secured additional ships and temporary parking lots, and shuttle buses will operate on Seondo.

County Governor Park Woo-ryang said, "I hope all visitors will have a healing time walking along the beautiful narcissus flower paths harmonized with Seondo’s blue sky and sea."
