The soap opera 'Winter Sonata' made this island famous. On the other hand it was nature-friendly place to go among Korean before the soap opera.
Nami island became island from the mountain peak, because the Cheongpyeong dam increased water level of the North Han river.
And once we go here, it is highly recommended to do enjoyable Rail Bike Riding and visit the Garden of Morning Calm.
These are recommended destinations but the itinerary can be customized by your interest and request.
