Ramsar Marsh Suncheon Bay Trip

Suncheonman is a bay in South Korea's southern coast, where streams flowed into the sea to form a large mudflat zone. I am happy to introduce the unique and wonderful scenery of Suncheonman on YouTube video.

○ Suncheonman National Garden
The Suncheonman National Garden was created to protect Suncheon Bay. There are gardens from all over the world in the form of exhibitions. So Suncheonman National Garden is very, very large. Bicycles are  prohibited so you must see the gardens on foot. Or you can get on a  tourist car. There are restaurants in the garden and you can bring some food. There are natural shade screens and rest areas, so you can relax and enjoy sightseeing. At the end of the garden we could get on a small train reach to the Suncheon Bay wetlands. (It's a long way to reach the wetlands of Suncheonman Bay. (I think it's better to travel in two days) Hearts(my girlfriend) and I could not tour all the gardens, but we toured representative gardens and huge mountain lanterns. A place where there are so many beautiful places. I recommend it.

○ Nakan Eupseong Village
Nakan Eupseong is a traditional preservation village from Joseon Dynasty. It preserves the traditional beauty of the early houses of the Joseon Dynasty. When we visited, it was just during the festival, so we could see Pumba performance, Namsadang Ostricking, and traditional performances. Especially, we could eat delicious food because it was during the traditional food festival.

○ Suncheonman Wetland
Suncheonman Wetlands are open to reeds and mudflats like the sea. It is a place where migratory birds and mudflats have all the natural conditions to live. Suncheonman Bay was registered in the Ramsar Wetlands in 2006.
Suncheonman Bay was such a large tourist destination that I rode my bike and watched it. We could see many migratory birds and livings of mudflats. In particular, it was very spectacular to see Suncheon Bay's wide field reeds moving in the wind from Yongsan Observatory.

○Suncheon filming location & Sunam Temple
The filming location is the shooting place of Korea's numerous dramas and movies. It is a reproduction of the Dal-dong-nae, a town in the 70s and 80s. This is a place where you can borrow old Korean school uniforms and take pictures.

Seonamsa (Temple) is one of the most beautiful temples in Korea. In particular, Seonamsa Valley is famous for its beautiful scenery and clean water streams.

○ Traditional market
There are two big traditional markets in Suncheon, the Utjang and the Araetjang. Utjang means the upper market and the Araetjang means the lower market. There is a night market every weekend. We stopped by the night market on the weekend to watch the event performance and had traditional BBQ and makgeolli.

Suncheon has an outstanding view of Suncheonman, and it is a wonderful tourist destination with traditions such as Nakan Eupseong. a must-have destination on when you come to Korea. I recommend you visit. Thank you.

See you soon.^^
