Nami Island

Naminara Republic on a thrilling zip line
Famous as the setting for the soap opera "Winter Sonata," this little island is a year-round tourist hotspot and a prime example of Chuncheon's romantic side. Using the concept of "The Naminara Republic," the island runs an imaginary country, giving visitors the impression that they are traveling in a made-up nation completed with its own money and flag. On the island, there are a variety of attractions and parks, including the landmark "Metasequoia Road," so it is good to enjoy a walk and picnic. While every corner of the island offers fantastic photo opportunities, numerous visitors opt to rent bicycles for a more comprehensive exploration of the island's diverse attractions. Access to the island via the 'Skyline zip-wire' takes just around a minute and a half, gaining popularity as a swifter and more thrilling alternative to arriving by cruise.
