Siheung Gaetgol Ecological Park
Preserving the mystery of a wetland
Siheung Gaetgol Ecological Park is a beautiful spot where you can feel the sentiment of an old salt farm in a unique basin wetland, the only one of it's kind in Gyeonggi-do. It appears that the ecosystem is well maintained here as it is inhabited by diverse salt plants and diverse amphibian animals like sand crabs and many different fish.
In order to preserve the ecosystem of this singular basin wetland and its rare animals and plants, Siheung City plans to develop the area into a representative eco-tour course by building an Ecological Park by 2010, which will connect the seashore and inland.
