Nami Island is a half-moon shaped island that boasts of awe-inspiring beauty. It has some of the most calming and wonderous walking paths that are worth visiting no matter the season. These tranquil walking trails are a must addition to your itinerary even if you are not a nature-lover. 

You can also spend the day enjoying some finger-licking local cuisine to make most of your trip. 

What’s so special about Nami Island? 

The popularity of the island can be attributed to the several K-dramas which used the island’s beauty for shooting locations. No wonder the peaceful island is loved by a lot of international travelers and local people in Korea. 

Top 4 Things to Do in Nami Island

It is picturesque no matter rain or shine or snow! What makes it more popular amongst tourists is that it’s only a few hour’s drives away from Seoul – a perfect destination for a day trip!

Photo Ops with the Winter Sonata sculptures

While Nami Island has been featured in several K-dramas, it is most famous for being a shooting location of the 2002 hit K-drama, Winter Sonata. Many visitors head to the island for photo ops with the Winter Sonata (K-drama) sculptures of main characters played by Bae Yong-joon and Choi Ji-woo.

You can also find replicas of snowmen from the iconic kissing scene, ‘Snowmen Kiss.’ In this scene, the male lead character builds two snowmen, makes them kiss, and steals a kiss from the female lead. Recreate the scene with your partner while you enjoy the natural beauty. To recapture the moment, you can visit the Gongsaengwon Garden. 

Forest Adventure on Bike

A bike is the best way to see the island, and it takes about one hour to ride around the circumference of the island. You can leisurely tour around the major attractions on a rented bike. The Bike Center is located in the center of the island between UNICEF Hall and Unchi Garden.
