Nami Island isn’t just a place—it’s a living painting where every season adds its own brushstroke. In autumn, the metasequoia trees blush gold and crimson, their reflections dancing on the Han River. Spring brings soft pink cherry blossoms, while winter wraps the island in a hush of snow, making it feel like a secret hideaway.

There’s no rush here—just the gentle rhythm of nature and the occasional laughter of fellow travelers discovering its magic.
