About

Suncheon Bay Wetland, one of the world's top five coastal wetlands and Korea's first Ramsar site, is a natural treasure trove where vast reed beds and mudflats harmonize. Preserved through the efforts of citizens in the 1990s, it has been reborn as a space symbolizing the coexistence of humans and nature, such as removing utility poles to protect migratory birds like hooded cranes. Starting from the ticket office, passing through the reed forest trail and climbing Mount Yongsan, you will reach Yongsan Observatory, where you can take in the S-shaped waterway, the symbol of Suncheon Bay, along with red seepweed colonies and beautiful sunsets at a glance.

In particular, the red sunset unfolding over the S-shaped tidal channel is considered the highlight of exploring Suncheon Bay, and many people visit this place to see this wondrous scenery.
