Suncheon Bay and National Garden: what to see and do
Open reed fields and a wide tidal flat on one side, and a large garden of themed landscapes on the other.
Known for
- Suncheon Bay Wetland, reed beds and wooden boardwalks
- Yongsan Observatory, over the winding S-shaped creek
- Suncheon Bay National Garden, with gardens in many styles
What to do
Walk the wetland boardwalk and climb to Yongsan Observatory for the view of the creek. Spend the rest of the day in the garden.
Tip: The reeds look golden in autumn. The wetland and the garden are a short ride apart.
