Suncheon is a rich and vibrant city that serves as the center of culture, art, education, and transportation in the South Korea region. It is home to temples and historical sites that evoke traditional Korean culture, such as Songgwangsa Temple, Seonamsa Temple, Naganeupseong Folk Village, and Dolmen Park. About 30 kilometers from Suncheon city is Jogyesan Mountain, which stands at an altitude of 884 meters and has gentle mountain ranges, making it a popular spot for hikers.
There is also Suncheon Bay Ecological Park, famous as a winter migration site for migratory birds, where the sunrise and sunset over the reed fields are truly spectacular.
You can enjoy Namdo cuisine from the Jeollanam-do region, which is representative of Korea's culinary culture, such as cockle salad and salted fish from the Ikakyo region near Suncheon, and vegetarian cuisine such as wild vegetable salad at the restaurants at the entrances to Songgwangsa Temple and Seonamsa Temple.
