Nami Island - Winter Sonata

Trip to Korea would not be complete if u don't visit Nami Island. .. This year Mark the 10th year of  this drama premiering in Malaysia. The first hallyu come from this drama and now kdrama still going strong with another hallyu effect from kpop.

This is the longest journey of all like 1 hour +... i remember we take subway(coz we stay at hongdae) and have to transfer to Gapyeong. This line is operates by Korail so it is a normal train.. During transfer , we kinda ride on to an express train... so  we need a different ticket.But if u use the normal one , no need  pay different ticket (daily pass perspective)

At Gapyeong - take a cab. It is just few km away. After that u can buy the ticket entrance to island at the counter.
Nami Island is a man made island. Nevertheless it is still beautiful.

The ferry is full of flags from all over the world. ( including Malaysia)

The famous photo shot location will be the green trees. It is said that  the most beautiful scenery here is during autumn.
