Introduction

Nami Island is a half-moon islet in Cheongpyeong Lake, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do, famed for its birch groves, ginkgo avenue and tranquil lake views, and beloved across Asia since the drama Winter Sonata was filmed here. Cars are banned; paths and bikes link forests, lawns and sculpture parks. Cherry blossoms in spring, maples in autumn, snow in winter. The ferry ride in feels like entering a fairy-tale forest, Seoul's most romantic weekend escape. Cherry blossoms in spring and maples in autumn frame the lake in postcard colour.
