PLAN THE VISIT
Severe weather, flood risk, maintenance and event controls can still restrict a zone.
Keep to signed routes and do not disturb salt plants, crabs or tidal habitat.
The audited coordinate marks the published park arrival rather than the centre of the broad wetland.
Prices, age limits, weather operation and availability require a live check.
A published capacity is not a guarantee of an open space during a festival or peak bloom.
It does not prove today's tide, wildlife, activity operation, weather, event access or parking space.
Checked September 8, 2026. Recheck current hours, admission, closures and transport before travel.
The place coordinate is exact; use the named gate, parking area or accessible entrance for the final route.
DAY-OF PLAN
The park is a protected inner-tidal wetland on a former salt-field landscape. Heat, wind, rain, flooding and festival setup can change the comfortable or open circuit even though the grounds have a continuous-access baseline.
Electric carts, multi-seat bicycles, water bicycles and salt or seawater experiences are separately priced activities. Confirm the current operating desk, age rule and weather status before building the visit around one.
Stay on signed paths and platforms around the tidal channel, salt plants and crab habitat. A visible mudflat or water edge is not permission to enter or collect wildlife.
MAKE A HALF-DAY OF IT
A 13-kilometre, four-to-five-hour loop from Siheung City Hall across low wooded ridges, rural settlements and prehistoric-site approaches; despite modest elevation it is a full half-day walk without a single controlled entrance, so save the route, carry water, allow daylight and check heat, rain, mud and any trail diversions.
