My Friends and I Visited Nami Island for the Autumn Leaves
A few days ago, my friends and I went to Nami Island in South Korea to enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves. As soon as we arrived on the island, we walked among the red, orange, and golden trees shining in the sunlight, feeling like we were in a fairy tale world.
We strolled along the paths, with a gentle breeze blowing and leaves dancing in the air. Every step we took was on a thick layer of fallen leaves, making a rustling sound that lifted our spirits. We kept taking photos, trying to capture these beautiful moments. For lunch, we tasted the local cuisine, which was especially delicious with the autumn atmosphere.

Essential Travel Checklist for an Autumn Adventure to Nami Island
#travelchecklist #100waysoftravel #namiisland #southkorea #autumn
I love visiting South Korea, especially in autumn for the stunning foliage. Nami Island is my top choice for witnessing the vibrant autumn colors, with its golden ginkgo trees and fiery red maples creating a breathtaking scene. In my opinion, it's the best place to experience autumn colors in South Korea. To avoid the crowds, we always take the first ferry to Nami Island, but it can be very cold in the morning. Make sure to pack essentials like gloves, a scarf, and a hat to stay warm while exploring. Comfortable walking shoes are a must since you’ll be strolling through long tree-lined paths, perfect for photos. A portable charger will keep your devices ready to capture the beauty all day. Don’t forget a small snack or a thermos of hot tea, as the island’s cafes might not open early. Lastly, pack a light waterproof jacket, just in case of a sudden drizzle, to keep your autumn adventure uninterrupted!

Korean Dramas Often Feature Stunning Locations - Nami Island.
The tour I mentioned last time to Petite France Village🤴, after visiting the village in the morning, we headed to Nami Island🏝~
We had lunch at a spicy chicken restaurant near the pier🥢, but this meal was at our own expense💸~
Besides spicy chicken, you can also order rice, noodles, or potato pancakes~
I personally didn't find it too spicy, the chicken was very tender🐔, and there were also rice cakes and cabbage~
Potatoes are a local specialty, and their potato pancakes are chewy🥔, highly recommended!
Nami Island is quite interesting, it calls itself the Republic of Nami Island~
There's a border crossing, which is actually just the place to board the boat~
The boat is quite large and spacious🛥, but there aren't many seats, though the ride isn't long~
Nami Island is most famous for its green tree-lined paths like the one in the picture🌳, with ginkgo and metasequoia trees~
I believe the place turns golden in autumn🍂, it must be stunning!
In the middle, there's a snack kiosk, most famous for its red bean buns🥯~
It was really hot the day we went, so we ordered the red bean bun shaved ice🍧~
However, their shaved ice is made of relatively large ice chunks, topped with condensed milk🍼~
Whether you like this texture is a matter of personal preference~
We stayed on the island for about an hour or two⏳️~
Then it was time to take the boat back to the other side and prepare to return to Seoul🚍~
The tour had some great spots, but it was really rushed...
If the tour could start a bit earlier and end a bit later🤏, it would be almost perfect~

Most Beautiful Autumn in Korea, Nami Island
Nami island or Namiseom island is one of the popular tourist location for beautiful autumn foliage just outside the capital of Seoul. You need to take a ferry or opt for the fun way of crossing to Nami island via zip line. Wear comfortable shoes as travelling around the island is by foot. It’s a picturesque getaway so expect many tourist taking their photos.
I woke up early and took a car ride of about two hours from Seoul and manage to arrived early at Gapyeong Wharf and bought ferry ticket for the earliest ferry ride to Nami Island before large crowd of visitors arrived looking for beautiful scenery and favourite photo spots. Don’t worry about food, there are many restaurants and cafes to ease any hunger pranks.
The popular tree-lined pathways are glistening with bright yellow leaves, straight out of a set from a Korean- drama. Definitely a popular spot for the visitors. #korea #autumn #Seoul #namiisland #dotzsoh #Namiseom

The scent of trees made me relax and there are squirrels & rabbits running around you.
It is a beautiful & romantic place to visit and a must for kdrama lover.
For muslim tourist, there is a musollah & halal food on the island.

Nami Island Stunning Foliage
We visited Nami Island in Autumn and it was absolutely stunning. Autumn is filled with golden foliage and cooler temperatures from September to November. We heard from our guide that Nami Island is excellent all year but the most popular times are Autumn for the stunning foliage.
It is the season that brings happiness to faces just by looking at their surroundings. Experiencing Nami Island in Autumn will just take your breath away. With the stunning natural beauty of Nami Island, you will get mesmerized. Specially because of the vibrant colors of the leaves during the fall season which gives it a lively atmosphere. With this in mind, you might want to get your camera prepared! Because this is indeed a picturesque place, where it is worth to take many pictures. However, do come early as Nami Island get pretty crowded very fast.

Autumn Rhythm in Nami 🍁🍂🍁🍂s
A must visit place in Korea!!
Located near Seoul, Nami Island is a beautiful island that is among the most popular attractions in Korea. Some people may ask: What is the best time to visit to this place? To be honest, there is no best time as every season offers different beautiful scenery but Autumn is just my thing with the vibrant colour of landscaped trees and maple leaves around ♥️♥️😄
🍁Transportation:
(personally I chose ITX but there are other options as well)
- From Cheongnyangni Station, purchase the tickets directly in the train counter
- Board ITX train to Gapyeong Station
- Suppose to hop abroad the Gapyeong City Tour Bus to the wharf but it was too crowded so we decided to take the taxi (not really remember but i think it took around 10 min and costs roughly KRW 3500 - KRW 4000)
- Taking the ferry to the island directly
—— > Highly recommend to go there early morning if you are going to French Village as well as the ferry queue from Nami Island back to the Wharf is crazy (we waited for more than 1 hour🥲🥲) and we ended up miss the operation hour of the village 🥲

Winter Sonata Vibe in Nami Island
Nami Island promises a serene landscape away from the busytling city of Seoul. its on the south of Seoul. With few travel transportations, the island can be reached within 90 minutes.
This place is popular among the tourists because it was a spot of Winter Sonata drama one upon a time.
It is a fairly big island, so 3-4 hours would be sufficient to cover this place. Apart from taking pictures, there are nice places to eat. Everything is so Winter-Sonata ish here.
Do leave time to travel to and fro for the ferry, as it can get very crowded.

Reminiscing Winter Sonata in Nami Island
Nami Island is well known as a filming location of Winter Sonata, a popular drama series in early 2000's. You'll see how big impact of this drama series to tourism. Located in Namsan-myeon, Chuncheon. There are two option to get to the island. First one is by taking ferry boat, second one is dedicated to those who seeking for more adrenaline rush, by zip wire. Since it's such a mainstream destination, you can find it easy to get there. There are shuttle bus from Seoul and train as well. Entrance fee is KRW 13,000. I highly recommend you to come in Autumn or Winter as it gets prettier when the leaf started turn to yellow in Autumn or glowing white of snow in winter. No need to worry about the public facility. There's so many restaurant on the island or nearby, and they also provide a mosque for Muslim guest. I've been there in January, when the lake become an ice skate rink. It was so beautiful!

Authentic Korean food in Nami Island
There are a few restaurants once you are in Nami Island, like western food, italian food, international food or korean food. We picked korean food for lunch and it had the longest queue. In my opinion, i think the food here is average. However, it was really nice to have a hot bowl of hot kimchi soup in this cold weather :)
We also ordered their rice wine produce from Nami Island, and you only can enjoy it here. I am not a big fan of it, but my husband enjoy it alot, it is fizzy and sour taste, taste abit like kombucha.
What I like the most about this place is the hot tea they serve here, is very nice and fragrant, taste like roasted tea. Their side dishes are nice as well, and it’s free flow! Enjoy! :)

Nami island
You cant miss Nami Island when youre in Seoul! Its about 2 hours from Seoul and you have to take a ferry ( about 10 mins) into the Nami Island. Alternatively, you can take a ZIP line there as well woty extra charge, do take note that they only allow certain number of guests to take the ZIP line in an hour, so please check with the counter before queuning to avoid dissappintment.
This is a relativelybsmall island but it’s very beautiful! Not sure if you have heard of Winter Sonata? The show was filmed here as well!! Many people come here to take photos with the statue.
There are many things to see and to do here, there are some wild animals like black rabbit, peacocks ( very very beautiful, we spotted one white one as well) and etc... There are bike renting here as well if you’re interested.
Overall it is a very nice quiet and peaceful place to visit, would recommend. :)

Discover the Charm of Nami Island In Spring
Nami Island became famous after it was featured in the popular Korean drama "Winter Sonata" aired in 2002. We visited not for the show (I was still young then) but for the island's beautiful natural scenery, including its tree-lined paths and picturesque lake.
Things to note:
1. Buy entrance ticket online for a cheaper deal. The entrance and ferry ticket come in a package.
2. Directions: Take train to Yongsan Station. Take an express train from Yongsan Station to Gapcheong Station (about 1 hour). From Gapcheong Station, take a bus to the ferry terminal (about 10 mins) or take a taxi if you don't want to wait for the bus. The taxi ride is only 5 mins.
3. There are quite a lot of restaurants near the ferry terminal, you can have breakfast or lunch there. If you are rushing for time, you can dine at the cafes/restaurants at Nami Island.
4. You can rent a bicycle and ride around the island.
5. Recommended to go during fall/winter as there are more ginko trees with autumn leaves than cherry blossom trees. During winter, it will be a scene out of the drama. But it is still beautiful in spring!
6. You can stay a night at Nami Island at Jeonggwanru Hotel.
