Upo Wetland & Eco Center
A major inland wetland landscape in Changnyeong paired with an interpretation center, offering reed beds, open water, bird habitat and an accessible starting point for understanding Upo's ecology.
Upo Wetland is included in the Korea Tourism Organization's 2025-2026 '100 Must-Visit Tourist Spots of Korea.' Current visitor information lists the Eco Center at 09:00-18:00 with last ticketing at 17:00; because wetland conditions and wildlife vary, treat the landscape as the main reason to go rather than expecting a guaranteed species sighting.
Why go
A strong choice for birders, nature travelers and families who want something very different from Korea's city attractions. Starting at the Eco Center makes the wetland easier to understand before walking the outdoor paths; wheelchair and stroller loans are also listed in Korea Tourism Organization accessibility information.
