Sorae Marsh Ecological Park
소래습지생태공원
A wetland park converted from abandoned salt pans. Its windmills, reed marshes and salt fields make it a popular spot in the Seoul metropolitan area for sunrise photography.
Sorae Marsh Ecological Park was built on the former Sorae salt fields, covering about 1.5 square kilometers. It preserves salt drying grounds and salt warehouses, and its exhibition hall explains traditional salt production. Several wooden windmills stand among reeds and salt-tolerant plants. In autumn, the reeds turn golden and the glasswort turns red, and photographers often gather in the early morning to capture sunrise and mist. The paths are flat, and a full loop takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Admission is free. There is almost no shade, so sun protection is important in summer. It is about a 20-minute walk from Sorae Port, or take the subway to Nonhyeon Station in Incheon and then a taxi.
Opening hours
Open all day (exhibition hall 10:00–18:00; closed Mondays)
