Eulsukdo Eco Park

Eulsukdo is an island created by the Nakdonggang River and the sea.
Once a “repository of ecosystem” in which various living organisms live in coexistence thanks to its unique topography and, also, the largest “habitat for migratory birds” in Asia, Eulsukdo is becoming a “center of culture and arts” as a variety of cultural facilities have been introduced in the area in recent years. With the ecosystem and modern culture forming harmony, Eulsukdo presents novel scenes and looks at every step you take from the cool river breeze and graceful fields of reeds to vastly spread green plains and people spending their own leisure time, all of which coexist like a beautifully sounding orchestra. Isn’t this the reason we visit Eulsukdo in late autumn?

Chohwawon Garden and Picnic Plaza

There is only one reason people visit Eulsukdo Island during this season. It is because of the soft and fine-haired, cotton candy-like Pink muhly grass! Chohwawon Garden situated inside Eulsukdo Eco Park has colonies of Pink muhly and cosmos, which enable you to fully enjoy the season of fall even if you do not travel afar. Next to Chohwawon Garden, there is also the Picnic Plaza on a vastly spread green plain. How joyful it would be to sit on a mat and enjoy a relaxing time with a delicious lunch box under the blue sky?

Eulsukdo Trail

If you wish to take a quiet stroll, walk on Eulsukdo Trail along the river on the outskirts of the island. Continuing along the Nakdonggang River, the trail is a great place to space out while looking at green grass with the cool river breeze on your face. Eulsukdo Island also provides free bicycle rentals, which makes it a perfect place for a bike date. Rent a bike and enjoy the ride to your heart’s desire while piercing through the river breeze.

Museum of Contemporary Art Busan

The Museum of Contemporary Art Busan, constructed by the city of Busan in the middle of Eulsukdo, opened in June 2018. The exterior of the museum is unique to suit the vibe of the island, which is the “repository of ecosystem.” The museum building itself is an artwork titled the “Vertical Garden,” and the green plants growing on the walls of the museum grab the attention of visitors.

Eulsukdo Migratory Bird Park

In addition to wetlands of different sizes, there is a stroll path near Nakdonggang Estuary Eco Center that is perfect for walking. As you walk along the path for a while, you will reach the Eulsukdo Migratory Bird Park before you even realize. Around this time of the year, migratory birds that have returned to the wetlands and the golden waves of the reed fields culminate in awesome beauty, allowing you to take an elegant autumn stroll. Eulsukdo Migratory Bird Park, a place that offers healing just from walking slowly.
