Suncheonman Wetland is one of the world’s top five coastal wetlands, stretching along a 3km river with mudflats and reed beds. The reed colonies serve as wintering and breeding grounds for various birds such as Hooded Cranes. The tidal flats are home to diverse species including Mudskippers and East Asian Seepweed. It’s an ecological tourist destination where visitors can enjoy the spectacular sunset over the S-shaped waterway of Suncheonman Bay from the observatory, accompanied by flocks of birds flying above the reed beds.
