Cherry blossoms are everywhere in Busan right now. Yesterday I went for a hike in the mountains behind Dongseo campus. There are excellent trails with vistas of Busan and a few natural mineral springs just minutes from the campus. Judging from the number of hikers I met, these trails are very popular. Yesterday was a gorgeous day for hiking and seeing spring blossoms.

Along the trail there are exercise stations. These are outdoors, well maintained and popular with the senior citizens. Instead of playground equipment for kids, Korea offers adult recreation and fitness. Most of the stations are located at a natural spring, so you can get mineral water and fitness. I found these outdoor gyms amazing, and stopped at this one to do a few reps among the cherry blossoms.
