WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT NAMI ISLAND?
Nami Island is a river island shaped like a half moon, in Chucheon, South Korea. The island formed when the water of the North Han River flooded an area of land. If Jeju island attracts visitors with its cold winter and relatively pristine natural scenery, Nami island exudes a new charm in the autumn landscape.
The autumn scenery becomes even more magnificent as the autumn colors come, donning a coat of bright yellow. Nami Island is known through the movie Winter Sonata. Since the release of this popular movie, the symbol of love has always been strongly associated with this island.
