Nami Island+Lunch
Nami Island is a half-moon-shaped island that resembles a leaf floating on top of Cheongpyeong Lake. The island takes its name from General Nami, a notable figure from the 15th century during the Joseon Dynasty. Nami island is renowned as a filming location for numerous Korean dramas, with 'Winter Sonata' being one of the most famous, often considered a pioneer of Korean culture. Particularly striking are three tree-lined pathways adorned with magnificent tall trees that create captivating scenic views: the Korean nut pine tree lane, the ginkgo tree lane, and the metasequoia tree lane. Nami Island serves as a haven for rest and relaxation, where humans, animals, and trees coexist in peace, love, and harmony, far removed from the hustle and bustle of crowds and civilization.
Rail Bike
The Railbike journey from Gimyujeong station to Gangchon station covers an 8.5km one-way course, consisting of 6km of railbiking and a 2.5km ride on a romantic train. The entire trip takes approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes. Upon reaching Nanggu village, there is a brief break and a transfer to the Romantic train. During this scenic ride, you'll be treated to breathtaking views along the banks of the Bukhan River (North Han River) and amidst the surrounding mountains.
Garden of Morning Calm
The 'Garden of Morning Calm' stands as one of Korea's most renowned arboretums, nestled in Gapyeong, Gyeong-gi province, approximately 70 kilometers away from Seoul. The name 'Garden of Morning Calm' draws inspiration from the Indian poet Tagore, who referred to Korea as 'the Land of Morning Calm.' This meticulously tended arboretum encapsulates the natural beauty of Korea, the spirit of its people, and an oriental mystique that wouldn't feel out of place in a fairytale world. Visitors to the arboretum not only find themselves refreshed but also experience a profound sense of tranquility. The Garden of Morning Calm offers more than just visual beauty; it also contributes to your overall health and provides an ideal setting for forest therapy. Bringing children to this arboretum can be particularly beneficial for their emotional development and education. Within the Garden of Morning Calm, you'll discover captivating sub-gardens, such as the 'Millennium Juniper,' a magnificent tree estimated to be around 1,000 years old and emblematic of the Morning Calm. The 'Sunken Garden' represents the essence of the Morning Calm with its vibrant display of flowers, while 'J's Cottage Garden' offers an enchanting English cottage-style retreat. The 'Pond Garden' harmoniously combines Korean tradition with pavilions and Hanok architecture.
