Chang-dong Art village

The Changdong Art Village, a place where everything appears to artistic masterpieces, consists of workshops for artists as well as exhibition halls and a storytelling alley. This is where you can delve into the modern history, culture and arts of Changwon, and be reminded of the memories from the past on the 250-year History Trail and the old Civic Theater area. In addition to the Masan Art Traces Alley, Ecole de Chang-dong serves as a thematic art street for artists and artwork vendors. The Moonshin Art Alley, on the other hand, sheds light on the artistic value of Moon Shin’s artworks as well as his unique world of art, and provides opportunities for visitors to create artworks themselves.

Masan jeodoyeonneukgyo bridge / The Bridge On The River Kwai

Jeodoyeonneukgyo Bridge (Jeodo Island Land Connecting Bridge) is a popular spot to watch the beautiful sunrise and sunset. Optical cable lighting fixtures designed in the shape of the black-tailed gull create diverse scenery at nighttime depending on the time and season. Built in 1987, the bridge connecting Gubok-ri and Jeodo Island is 182m in length and 15.5m in height. Rocks found on both ends of the bridge extend outward toward the sea, and one can cross the bridge while enjoying the beautiful backdrop of the deep blue sea. It is also called “The Bridge on the River Kwai” because it reminds people of the 1957 Hollywood movie of the same name.

Junam Reservoir

The 898ha Junam Reservoir (Wetlands), called a “paradise for migratory birds,” receives about 109 different species of migratory birds every year. While it is a sanctuary for tens of thousands of migratory birds flocking to the area every year, it is also a habitat for a wide range of aquatic plants and insects, and it’s the one and only place where you can observe migratory birds flying freely. In 1980, 50,000 spectacled teals began spending the winters here, and 16 migratory birds that have been designated as natural monuments and 10 endangered species designated by the Ministry of Environment can be seen here. As such, one could say that this is a natural, open-air museum.
