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...

They are Suncheonman nature biological reserve area, observatory, handicraft and local food shop, ‘sound of nature’ hall, ‘France Nantes’ rest area, Reed forest expropriation route, biology experience line,etc,... the main road’s length is 5,4 km, the broadest reed forest in Korea. It takes about 30mins to 40mins to complete the route and reach the observatory. There’re some Korean-style boat along the route where visitors can sit down and take pictures. Also, I also saw some migration birds and small crabs on the mud. These days, so crowded there but everyone was nice, no pushing, no pickpocketing, but it was a little bit hard to take pictures for a long time. The entrance fee is 8000₩ per person, 6000₩ each for a group. Open time is 8am and close time is 5pm. In general, really worth trying coming here, enjoy nature, relax and take...
Read moreSuncheon Bay Nature Reserve is one of the most beautiful places in nature in Korea, especially if you are interested in Wellness Travel or the healing effects of nature. The winding paths in between the tall, green reeds are great to enjoy the fresh air and green landscape. The photos you can take are also really beautiful. If you take a closer peek into the actual wetlands, you will see so many cute crabs crawling in the mud, as well as the mudskipper fish. Both the crab and fish are on offer at the many restaurants across from the entrance of the Nature Reserve. You can also hike to the top of the hill, where you will have the opportunity to see all the colors of the vast wetlands. It takes about 30 minutes to walk up and is easy for beginners. I definitely want to go back! #WellnessTourismKorea #한국웰니스관광 #KTO #KoreaTourism...
