This is also another popular place for shooting Korean drama location. You can explore around the village for a little over an hour.

After having fun in Petite France, we continued our journey to Nami Island which is famous for filming location of Korean drama Winter Sonata. Not only that but Nami Island is famous for its tree-lined avenues and riverside walks. The most popular time to visit Nami Island probably in spring and autumn but I must said it is beautiful in all seasons. My daughter is running around happily up down hills, climbing tree houses, and singing haha. One of our favorite places to visit in South Korea, we explore the whole island with plenty of time till sunset, you could see the beauty of nature and e take a lot of pictures :)
Cheesy photo first haha :)
Crispy and crunchy Hotteok!!! Took a break for snacks and drinks here while roaming the beautiful tracks of nami island. It’s kinda oily though but definitely worth it. This store has the longest line of customers during my visit.
Beautiful sunset at Nami Island
