At a glance

Suncheonman Bay National Garden is Korea's first designated national garden. It was laid out for the Suncheon Bay International Garden Expo, held from April 20 to October 20, 2013, and covers about 927,000 m². The grounds hold traditional gardens from around the world, theme gardens, a children's zoo, a therapy garden and a history hall, and the SkyCube 'sky taxi' and a Ferris wheel help you get around and see it from above. Programs such as garden classes, a digital puppet show and garden 'workation' stays are run by reservation.
