What to do and see in Changwon, Gyeongsangnam-do: The Best Day Trips from

January 31, 2022 Vivienne Hutton

Changwon is a paradise for birdwatchers, who flock (pardon the pun) from all over the world to peep at Korea’s largest migration site. Junam Wetlands Park, in particular, is a popular spot to watch thousands of birds flap their wings. The Musical Fountain in Yongji Lake is an equally spectacular sight, as are the sculptures exhibited at the Gyeongnam Art Museum. Local alkaline hot springs are perfect spots for unwinding after a day of gazing and exploring.

We did our own tour, reading ahead of time and as we walked across the bridge. The area is beautiful and has a dark history that is definitely worth researching about ahead of time.

Loved going on the boat trip. Would definitely do it again. Could have used much more time at the 'farm' just to relax and poke around. The 'farm' was not what we expected. Thought we would have interaction with locals who would explain things to us but we still enjoyed it. While eating our lunch, we felt like we were in "Survivor". So cool. Good food. Just do it - you'll enjoy it.

Very nice experience and the tour guide was friendly and cheerful. Although the prices of the items they sell at the market are more expensive, but to have an insight into their way of life over there was well worth the experience. The food was disappointment at the seafood market and the people are too!
