Suncheon Bay Nature Reserve

Suncheon Bay Nature Reserve and Reed Field is a wonderful place to visit if you like the peace and quiet of nature. We started early and enjoyed walking around. This place is huge so be prepared to walk a lot. The reed field was beautiful in summer, very green. The birds, ducks, herons, crickets etc were all humming the entire time. The air was nice, crisp and clean. I enjoyed watching the crabs and mudfish interact in their natural habitat. We also hiked all the way up to the observatory. We saw a mountain cat too! The view there amazing! You can see the entire reserve. There's butteflied and caterpillars and even crabs up the mountain. There's also a restaurant serving coffee, desserts and lunch. For the meals, the ingredients were mostly sourced within the reserve so that's really cool. I would love to see this reserve in autumn when the colors change to browns and reds. It's also home to migratory birds so that would be nice.

It was a beautiful beautiful place. We went on a sunny day and it was hot! The views were gorgeous and we spent around 3.5 hrs there. The 14000 won tickets came with the sky cube ride to the national gardens, which was great especially if you are tired from the walking. The hike(?) Or "path of meditation" up to yongsan observatory was alright, not too tough and the views along the way were fantastic! You get to see all the way to the delta.

Visiting the wetlands in Suncheon was such a cool experience. We spent a good 4 hours there. You can check out the bird museum, the planetarium and then walk through the wetlands. There's a bit of a hike to reach the multiple observation decks. The views from the top are incredible. Such a peaceful and beautiful outing in nature.

We did a small road trip in South Korea from Busan and we made a stop in Suncheon for this area. It is a gorgeous wetland area and the nature is so beautiful. We did a big walk here and witnessed a wonderful sunset at the end. It was truly magical! It is worth the entrance fee, highly recommended!

Really lovely walk, can get a bit busy especially on the weekends, but worth a visit for sure. Great sunset is. I think it was 5,000 per person to get in, but I thought it was worth it. Could easily spend half a day or more there. Bikes to rent and boat rides too, but I didn’t do any of them.
