Why go

Suncheon Bay National Garden in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do, is Korea's first nationally designated garden — a 1.12-square-kilometer landscape garden complex completed in 2013 as the country's flagship contemporary garden destination. The grounds combine 11 themed international gardens (representing 13 countries' garden-design traditions, from Japanese to Dutch to French formal), substantial Korean traditional landscape sections, a wetland-adjacent area connecting to the broader Suncheon Bay reserve, and an iconic dome-shaped greenhouse. The garden anchors Suncheon's broader eco-tourism positioning. Allow a half day for full coverage. Best in spring through autumn for the full plant range. Pair with the Suncheon Bay wetland reserve and Suncheon Filming Location.
