Suncheonman Bay Wetland
순천만습지
One of Korea's largest reed wetlands. Boardwalks wind through golden reed beds, and Yongsan Observatory offers a sunset view of the S-shaped waterways.
Suncheon Bay Wetland has vast reed beds and tidal flats. It was designated a Ramsar wetland in 2006, and in 2021 it became part of the Korean Tidal Flats, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From the entrance, cross Mujin Bridge and follow the boardwalk through the reeds. Then climb for about 30 minutes to Yongsan Observatory, which overlooks the S-shaped tidal channels and the round clumps of reeds. Sunset is especially beautiful. In winter, migratory birds such as hooded cranes visit. The ticket is shared with the Suncheon Bay National Garden, and eco-tour boats also operate here. From Suncheon Station, take bus 66 for about 30 minutes.
Opening hours
Roughly 08:00 until after sunset (varies by season)
