Tourist guide
While walking around the Gyeongpo Eco Marsh Park, visitors can see herons floating leisurely on the water. Passing by the prickly waterlily complex, they can go to a well-organized trail and pass the river by ferry. If a ferry is on the opposite side, visitors have only to turn a handle to have it come back. For boarding and crossing, they have only to pull a thick rope at the middle of the ferry. Unless it is a blooming season, visitors cannot see lotus flowering. There is also the Gyeongpo waterway, but it is difficult to go fishing there due to its wetland. After walking along the deck, visitors can reach the lotus complex and see lotus flowering only in the morning or in sunny days.
