Nami Island

Nami Island is a half-moon-shaped island that resembles a leaf floating on top of Cheongpyeong Lake. The island takes its name from General Nami, a notable figure from the 15th century during the Joseon Dynasty. Nami island is renowned as a filming location for numerous Korean dramas, with 'Winter Sonata' being one of the most famous, often considered a pioneer of Korean culture. Particularly striking are three tree-lined pathways adorned with magnificent tall trees that create captivating scenic views: the Korean nut pine tree lane, the ginkgo tree lane, and the metasequoia tree lane. Nami Island serves as a haven for rest and relaxation, where humans, animals, and trees coexist in peace, love, and harmony, far removed from the hustle and bustle of crowds and civilization.
