As spring arrives, Haman in Gyeongsangnam-do presents an appealing blend of natural beauty, history, and traditional activities. The area's landscapes and annual festival draw visitors during this season.

Delta Air Lines, in partnership with Korean Air, offers flights from Seattle to Seoul five times weekly and will soon launch non-stop flights from Salt Lake City to Seoul. More details can be found on delta.com.

In May, Haman showcases unique attractions like Ipggok County Park, where you can enjoy vibrant spring flora and the 96-meter-long Ipggok Suspension Bridge. Visitors can also explore the Ara Healing Café for tranquil reservoir rides or ride the Sky Bicycle above the water.

The Haman Nakhwa Nori Festival occurs in May and features traditional fireworks, revived annually since 1985. It includes fire sticks known as nakhwabong, creating a spectacle that reflects on Mujinjeong pond like a "celestial Milky Way." The festival is free but requires reservations.

Haman offers a historical journey with the Ancient Tombs in Marisan Mountain, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, believed to be the resting place of Aragaya kings. Artifacts and reconstructions at the nearby museum provide insights into Gaya’s past.

Another attraction is the Mujinjeong Pavilion, a peaceful retreat that once served Joseon Dynasty scholars. It offers a serene environment for relaxation.

Local cuisine includes the much-appreciated Haman Watermelon, famous for its high sugar content and juicy quality. This region is noted for producing premium watermelons, being the origin of their cultivation in Korea.
