Upo Wetland is the true repository of an ecosystem
that shows perfect balance of production and consumption and it holds a variety of living organisms through a long repeated process of water flow and stagnation.
At this heavenly habitat for wild plants and animals, you can walk the 8.7km-long Upo Wetland Saengmyeong-gil (‘Road of Life’) and experience the mystery of the pristine nature and how the nature and people can coexist in harmony.
