International Garden Exposition Suncheon Bay Korea 2013 Preview


I have been there in 2005 and it's breathtaking. How much this area has changed since then requires another trip.

Take a QUIZ and win tickets for this expo here.

International Garden Exposition Suncheon Bay Korea 2013 (see: Suncheon Bay Garden Expo 2013 Documentry here) is the first international environment and ecology event to be held in Korea. The expo begins its six-month run on April 20, 2013 at its venue of Suncheon Bay in Suncheon, Jeollanam-do Province. The expo’s theme is “Suncheon Bay, Garden of the Earth,” and it features 82 gardens from 23 countries at its main venues of the International Wetland Center and Arboretum Zone. Dongcheon Stream* is the scenic backdrop for the performance stage, which will host daily cultural events.

The expo is expected to draw a large number of tourists to its 11 world gardens and 60 participatory gardens, which were created by artists from Korea and abroad, businesses, and cities. Theme gardens will also highlight the significance of the Suncheon Bay Garden Expo.

A garden is a place where people can relax and interact with nature. Thus, the Suncheon Bay Garden Expo is an international event befitting the 21st century ideals in pursuit of the coexistence of humans and nature.

Expo admission tickets give access to all gardens and facilities inside the venue. Exploring the expo site in its entirety requires more than one day. To ensure ample time to visit other tourist sites in Suncheon, plan a three-day, two-night trip including travel time. Visitors that are short on time should take a map of the expo venue and plan which attractions are a priority during the visit.
All visitors that are ready to take a tour of the expo should be sure to wear comfortable clothing and shoes. The spring sun can be strong in Korea, so don’t forget to bring sunblock, a hat, and sunglasses.

* Dongcheon Stream: The stream runs through the heart of Suncheon and flows into Suncheon Bay.
