Nami Island, Chuncheon

Place is well organized and very touristy. I went to visit last April and there were crowds everywhere. Good thing that the frequent ferry helps it all in ensuring guests coming in n out in good flow. There are plenty of shops for food and souvenirs. Restrooms are easily located. Make sure you dress well for the season and occasion.

This place was a blast, even though it was -14C (6.8F aka very cold) the day I visited. The island is a little over an hour drive from Seoul and is located in the middle of a river. It is only a short ferry ride from the shore - about 2-3 minutes. The crossing is very calm. I would suggest you go early. The island was heaving with people at 10am on a weekday even with the cold weather. The island is famous for its tree lined avenues which look very different depending on the time of year, but always good for a photo opportunity. A number of snow machines were running the day I visited. Some machines were being used to create hills for sledding, others just for looks and atmosphere. There are a number of souvenir stores and cafes on the island. There are a few restaurants on shore. There looks to be a number of performance stages, but none were in use the day I went as it was so cold. I think you can rent a bicycle to get around the island.
