If you live in Korea,

This is the most popular Summer Snack for Korean.

Here are some information about it.

Garden exhibitions have been held in Europe and other leading countries for over 150 years.

They have been a symbol of urban regeneration and environmental protection.

And 2013, it's being held in Suncheon.


Basically, you can see international gardens, wetlands (artificial), zoo, arboretum.

Well. Be honestly, you might be disappointed at international gardens.

(I was disappointed too.)

I could see they tried hard, but it didn't work that much well actually.

But If you love natural,

it would be the best place to visit for you.

▼ Wetland center

I loved this place a lot.

You can see various life in wetland. 

 ▲ I love this fish, 짱뚱어. 

It looks so funny !!

▲ What a cute name !

▼ Right next to the Wetland Center, there is a zoo.

You can see various animals here (not many animals though.)

▼Other views in Expo area

I recommend you to visit here once if you have time to go.

It feels so refreshing and healthy.

This is also an attraction you should go.

You will see the most beautiful Bay of Korea.

Among all of the world’s wetlands, Suncheonman Bay is widely known for attracting the largest number of rare birds. Such internationally rare birds as the hooded crane, white-naped crane, white stork, black-faced spoonbill, and the Eurasian Oystercatcher, as well as birds designated as natural treasures, are spotted here. There are about 140 species of birds including the snipe, wild duck, shelduck, and wild goose.

▲ You can get aboard a cruise to look around bay 

(Also there is a train)

Walking around this beautiful area it feels just like heaven !

It was all green when I went there on May.

But if you go there in Fall, you will see gold field of reeds. 

Have you ever heard of 짱뚱어(Jjangddung-eo/Goggle-eyed Goby/blue-spotted mud hopper) ?

You can see this fish at Suncheon Bay.

Apparently, it looks 'ridiculous and somewhat creepy' haha

Let me see you this fish ▼

▲ You can see its face too 

What do you think? 

Is it really looks creepy and ridiculous?

Well. Before you enter the Bay, you'd better bring water.

You also should put on sunscreen.

Since there is no shade in whole area, it's easy to get sunburn. :)
