Spring is one of the most beautiful seasons in Korea and several cities, including Masan, near Pusan, hold annual Cherry Blossom Festivals.
In March and April Korea experiences the ‘Yellow Dust’ phenomenon. Deforestation in central China and Mongolia causes massive amounts of particulate matter to be swept up during windstorms. Yellow Dust is usually simply an irritation- clothes and cars have to be washed more frequently than usual, however in recent years the amount of dust has become more severe, causing eye infections and respiratory ailments. The further east you are on the penninsula, the less effect this has on you. Those on the west coast take the full brunt of the Yellow Dust.
