Made famous by the hugely popular Korean drama ‘Winter Sonata’, Namiseom Island beckons.
An island known for its enchanting tree-lined roads, Namiseom Island is shaped like a half moon. Get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and arrive at the island by ferry or a one-way zip line. To retain the natural beauty of the island, no telephone lines or poles are visible as they are all placed underground. An island filled with delightful chestnut and poplar trees, a vast field of about 300,000 square yards can be found in the heart of the isle. Equipped with great facilities such as a swimming pool, water-sports facilities for motorboats and water skiing, a roller skating rink, a shooting range, and more – there is something for everyone here. In addition, there is also a theme park on the island to keep the younger ones entertained. Thereafter, indulge in delectable foods at the various eateries after a fun-filled day and shop for souvenirs at the handicraft shops.
Namiseom Island could be visited at any time of the year, for a completely different experience each time around. A visit during the autumn months is when the best scenery can be enjoyed; rows of pine and maple trees combine into a beautiful sea of red and gold, making your trip an extremely photogenic and picturesque one. During winter, the island is covered in a white blanket of snow accompanied by ice sculptures scattered around; while visitors get to enjoy winter sports such as skiing opportunities. With so much to offer, Namiseom Island truly makes for a wonderful retreat.
