Namiseom Island
Namiseom Island is the famous filming location for the drama, "Winter Sonata" (2000). The place was not originally an island, but formed as a result of the Cheongpyeong Dam being built downstream. On the island is the grave of General Nami of the Joseon Dynasty, which is where the island gets its name. In terms of size, it is small enough to be explored in half a day, but draws a tremendous number of visitors.
The must-visit places at Namiseom Island are the Metasequoia Road and Songpa Gingko Tree Lane. Frequently featured in dramas, movies and commercials, the two places are often picked as the top spots to visit on the island. In particular, the beauty of Songpa Gingko Tree Lane reaches its peak in late-October and early-November.
