Namiseom island is one of the popular travel destinations near Seoul, famouse for its beautiful scenery and plenty of photo opportunities. The Island is located within 2 hours drive from Seoul and hence making it a perfect destination for a day trip. However, getting to Namiseom Island is often a topic of concern. That's because you need to travel by subway and change to a train from Cheongyanni Station. Anyway, I find it pretty easy to navigate from Insadong (where we stayed) to Cheongyanni Station. We then took the standard train, approximately 1hr 30mins to Gapyeong Station. On crowded days, be prepared to stand your way.
There are 2 ways to get to Namiseom Island. You can either be more adventurous and zipped yourself across the sea to the island or be more conservative and take a ferry. We choose the Zipliner which was super fun. It was not scary at all and the moment you take flight, you'll be mesmerised by the beauty before your eyes.
Namiseom Island was formed as a result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam. It is a half-mooned shaped isle and on it is the grave of General Nami, who led a victory against the rebels during the Joseon Dynasty.
Namiseom Island is perhaps most well known as the filming site for K-drama - Winter Sonato. Although I didn't watch the entire show, I've heard that it was a sad love story. Anyway, this show features Nami Island at its best with beautiful tree lanes, riverside walks and many more. I visited the island during late spring and the vegetation were greenish. I would however imagine that the island will be at its prettiest during Autumn.
You can also enjoy a variety of activities at Nami Island (e.g. cycling, walking, rowing boats, canoeing). There is also a hotel in the island which I would love to stay in for my return trip. Near the lake, there were several nice cosy chalets for those who wish to stay for a night.
I really enjoyed my time at Namiseom Island. It was pretty everywhere and I certainly felt relaxed! I hope I have the time to stay for a night in this lovely island. This place is highly recommended as a must go day trip from Seoul.
