GANGWON-DO: NAMI ISLAND



If you're visiting Korea, you can't miss visiting Gangwon-do.

One of the most famous places to go there is Nami Island. Namiseom Island or more popularly known as NAMI Island was originally not an island, but took its current form when it became surrounded by water with the building of Cheongpyeong Dam to the south.









The name of the island comes from the army general Nami, who was buried here during the Joseon Dynasty. The entire island can be deemed as a giant photo zone for its exquisite beauty and attractions that offer plenty of photo opportunities.

The two must-see attractions when visiting Namiseom Island are definitely the Metasequoia Lane and Songpa Ginkgo Tree Lane. These two trails often appear in movies, dramas, and advertisements. 

Namiseom Island was formed as a result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam. It is a half moon-shaped isle, and on it is the grave of General Nami, who led a great victory against the rebels in the 13th year of the 7th king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejo (reign 1455-1468).

 A special feature of Namiseom Island is that there are no telephone poles. This is because all electric wires were built underground to keep the natural feeling of the landscape. The island is 553,560 square yards with chestnut trees and poplar trees throughout.

 Address: 1, Namiseom-gil, Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon-si, Gangwon-do
