A Summer Encounter in Suncheon
Although Suncheon is generally recommended for travel in spring or autumn, we decided to visit in the summer to enjoy the bright, clear skies. As expected, the green gardens under the magnificent blue sky offered a fantastic view. When it got too hot, we took a break in the botanical garden, and as the sun set, we had fun at the playground. It seems that Suncheon Bay National Garden is beautiful in any season.

Arriving in a Fairy Tale World by Train
The most comfortable way to visit Suncheon from Seoul for a 2-day, 1-night trip is definitely by KTX rather than driving! While having a car is essential if you plan to visit various tourist spots in Suncheon, we decided to take the train since we only planned to stay within the Suncheon Bay National Garden. This year, a new workation accommodation opened within the Suncheon Bay Garden, offering a perfect place to stay with 300,000 pyeong of garden space as your front yard. Moreover, the weekend peak season rate is very affordable at just 150,000 KRW per night. Take the train and visit Suncheon.

Many gardens in one
The Suncheon Nation Garden is composed of many different gardens that were inspired by many regions of the world. when going there I was not expecting to see so many different types of vegetations and garden designs, but I was gladly surprise.

Visiting Suncheon Bay Wetland Reserve
This is another highly recommended spot if you are traveling to South Korea during the autumn foliage season and feel bored with the atmosphere in Seoul. I suggest heading south to Suncheon Province. It is a vast reed garden. On the day I visited, there were hardly any people, probably because it was a weekday. However, even if it gets crowded, you can still find plenty of photo spots because the area is so spacious. The atmosphere is great, and there is a bus that goes directly there. Highly recommended!

Taking a Break in the Shade During the Hot Summer
Just a short walk in this year's summer made me sweat profusely 😂. The Suncheon Bay Garden, which I walked through on a summer day, was a place where the occasional shade was very welcome.

It turned out to be a summer trip where I could enjoy a wonderful garden and have some relaxing time.
