Trip to Suncheon

Updated: Feb 13, 2019


1. Suncheonman Bay National Garden (순천만국가정원)

The Suncheon Bay Garden is a perfect place to stroll on your day off and enjoy the huge garden with a variety of flowers. What makes this garden unique is you can also enjoy an International garden, allowing you to visit countries like Holand, China, Thailand, US and other countries at once. Suncheon is located in Jeollanam-do which is 2 to 3 hours by KTX from Seoul station. Getting to the garden from Suncheon station is fairly easy as buses and taxes are available all the time, and the fare is not high since the garden is located nearby.

By paying 8,000won you can enter both Suncheonnam Bay National Garden and Suncheon Bay Wetland Reserve.
