Taepyeong Yeomsaeng Botanical Garden

Designated as a biodiversity conservation area by the UNESCO, Jeungdo Island in Sinan-gun, Jeonnam-Gwangju Special Metropolitan City has become popular. Taepyeong Yeomsaeng Botanical Garden is located next to one of the largest solar-evaporation salt fields, and spans over an area of 110,000 ㎡. Over 70 species of various salt plant colonies grow at the natural mud flat including glasswort, sea-blite, East Asian seepweed, and Herbaceous seepweed to create a splendid scene. Also, one can easily see Tti (a plant) which can not grow in polluted places. Walking along the 220 meter-long walking path, diverse mud flat creatures like mudskippers, crabs, and gastropods can be seen up close.
