Geoje – Oedo – Tongyeong: Three Islands, Three Stories
10:00
duration, hours: approximately 6
This route explores South Korea through contrasts — from the serene beauty of Oedo Island to the Korean War POW camp on Geoje. The experience concludes with a peaceful cable-car ride over the sea in Tongyeong.
place
Oedo Island
The Island of Geojedo connected to Busan by an amazing under-sea tunnel is the original capital of the Korean shipbuilding industry. However, we are interested in a small island Wedo, which can be reached by a local ferry boat. The island is situated at a distance of four kilometers from the "big" Kochzhe-up.
Wedo Island is part of the first Marine National Park of Korea Hallyo Haesang. Mr. Lee Hanh and his wife turned Wedo into a beautiful private botanical garden in which you will find both Korean, and quite a lot of exotic species.
place
Korean War POW Camp (Geoje Island)
A memorial site dedicated to the Korean War, offering insight into the lives of prisoners of war and the difficult choices faced by individuals during the ideological conflicts of the twentieth century.

Sunchon Bay Garden
10:00
duration, hours: approximately 3
Despite the name, which implies a small area, this "garden" is, in fact, a huge park, consisting of several zones that are completely different from each other.
The ecological park, located about 15 minutes by transport from the Garden, allows you to enjoy nature and, in the winter season, an extraordinary variety of migratory birds.
The ecological park is included in the excursion during the winter months (December-February). Please note that due to quarantine it is sometimes closed to the public!
place
Suncheon Bay National Garden
The garden, which hosted the 2013 World Gardens Exhibition, impresses with its variety of landscapes, abundance of plant species and modern garden design.
The zones of the countries participating in Expo 2014 have been preserved, as well as separate zones created by excellent Korean gardeners.
From April to October 2023, the World Garden Expo 2023 will be held again at the Suncheon National Garden!
place
Suncheon Bay Ecological Park
Ecopark is famous for its thickets of reeds, reaching heights higher than human height. This is the densest reed thickets in all of Korea. In addition, this place is known for the fact that cranes, storks, spoonbills and other rare birds fly here. There are about 140 different species of birds throughout the park.
