It is also easy to construct various travel routes because it is in contact with Gapyeong, Gyeonggi-do, with the trunk of the North Korean River in between.

When talking about Nami Island, there are some things that cannot be left out. Among them, the drama <Winter Sonata>, which created 'Jihime' and 'Yon-sama' in 2002, is typical. Although 10 years have passed, Nami Island, the location of their 'first kiss', is still loved as a 'holy place' for lovers. It would be a similar context for a lot of poisonous lovers to flock to Nami Island in the snowy winter. Even if you don't know the drama, once you see Nami Island in winter, you will use it as a date course without forgetting each time your lover changes (?).

The name of 'Nami Island' is due to Nami General (1441 ~ 1468). At the age of seventeen, there was a stone grave here known as the tomb of General Nami, who died for sixty six years under the mothership of Yoo Ja-gwang. During the development of Nami Island, the tombs were trimmed to make the Nami General Gamyo.

There are two ways to enter Nami Island: sky and water. You can take a boat (10,000 won) from Gapyeong Naru or fly on a straw wire (38,000 won).

If you select straw wire, you have to use the sky path only when entering Nami Island from Gapyeong and take a boat when you exit. The return wire is included in the straw wire fare. You can enter Nami Island in 3 ~ 5 minutes on the waterway and 1 minute and 30 seconds on the skyway. From March to the 1st and 3rd Mondays, the straw wire cannot be used for regular inspections.

If you go too skillfully at once, you cannot avoid misunderstandings.

Let's take a look around the place where couples who visit Nami Island take photos without missing out.

It is a bridge to the place where the main characters of the drama <Winter Sonata> are kissing.

There is a sign board that kindly says 'Winter Sonata's First Kissing Place'. Pairs of friendly couples flock without ceasing. Here, weeping cherry tree colonies along the Bukhan River stem and county and cypress colonies are also beautiful. However, once you walk in, you have to walk a long way to find an escape route.

Please show your sense of checking your girlfriend's shoes in advance. Even though he wore kill heels to look pretty, if he keeps walking without notice, the front of the kill heels may head to Seoul.

In this case, why don't you ride the cute little train, UNICEF Sharing Train, from Nami General Tombs to Happiness Garden?

If you kissed me pretty and took a certification shot, let's go through the first kiss bridge and come out on the main road. After passing through UNICEF Hall, you will find a (electric) bicycle rental station. Restaurants, kiosks and ATMs are gathered around this area.

If you go straight through the shopping district, go straight to the right. Turn right at this crossroad and you will reach the 'Meta Sequoia Road' and 'Front Road'. It is easy to see the scene where the first pair of lovers ask each other to take a picture. The road is pretty. From here, go up to Happiness Garden and continue straight ahead, and you can see the cherry tree path around the outdoor swimming pool. It is a pretty way when cherry blossoms bloom. Along the Cherry Tree Road, you can see the Nami Island National Hotel <Jungwanru> Information Center.
