Bok-jiri — clear pufferfish soup selected
Nearby
Suncheonman National Garden
The half-price night ticket is the thing to understand before buying. It goes on sale at 17:00, and the operator publishes a list of what has already shut by then — the zoo, the therapy garden, then the big wheel and the Sky Cube. The wetland it will not admit you to at all.
Geomok Sundae Gukbap
A sundae-gukbap house in Pungdeok-dong. Its Century Shop citation records that from 1996 it put bean sprouts in the soup and served the rice apart — the first in Suncheon to do so.
Suncheonman Wetland
Almost everything here is built to be hard to see. The street lamps were cut down to head height and fitted with reflectors so the light would not reach roosting birds, the boardwalk and signs were designed to disappear when viewed from a bird's altitude, and the rest shelters are made from scrapped boats. Read the site as a set of decisions about birds and it stops looking like a park.
Stories about this place
- Eight Century Shops — and the reason the register wrote down for each
When the Ministry of SMEs and Startups designates a long-running shop as a Century Shop, it records in one line why that shop was chosen. Here are eight of them, from Gangneung down to Suncheon, with the citation quoted and what they serve set beside it. A bowl starts at 9,000 won, and not one of the eight publishes its opening hours.
