순천만 갈대, 늦가을 (Suncheon Bay Reeds, Late Autumn)

Suncheon Bay, a bay of tidal flats and reed beds · Late autumn — The sun setting over golden reeds, and warm harmonies.

About Suncheon Bay

Suncheon Bay is known for its wide tidal flats and reed beds. In 2021 it became a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site as part of "Getbol, Korean Tidal Flats," together with the tidal flats of Seocheon, Gochang, Sinan and Boseong.

As winter approaches, migratory birds such as hooded cranes come here. The mudflats and reeds give the birds food and a place to rest.

In late autumn the reeds turn from silver to gold. Climb to the observatory on the hill around sunset and you can look down on the waterways winding through the flats.
