Nami Island (Part 1) - Taking the boring way there

Nami Island is actually not in the sea, but in a river. It was popularized by the drama Winter Sonata, and there are even statues of the main actor and actress to commemorate that.

I spent about three hours on the island. There are three ways of getting to the island: a ferry (which is included in the entrance ticket, and which I and most people choose), a speedboat, and a zip-line. Whichever way you choose to get to the island, the only way back from the island is via the ferry.

the zip-line tower

immigration (they call it Naminara Republic)

I think Tamimara is the name of this ferry

the other ferry seems to be called Nami Maid

looking back (see the zip-line tower)

one of the many tree-lined paths (there are different trees for different paths)

snowmen are a thing there, because of Winter Sonata

Glass Sequoia, a decoration made with recycled soju bottles

Crossing the bridge, we come to Winter Sonata's "first kiss bench".

more than four thousand kilometres to Malaysia

it's like a mini theme park?

the ride goes through "bookshelf" arches

India Gate

two tree-lined paths, gotta choose one

that's not me :P

that's me!

see the person sitting there?

that's who...

office for the island's hotel. You can read about the building yourself...

interesting fountain, with water flowing from both that tower and from the rocks

I wanted to put everything into one post, but there are so many photos that I will split it into two posts. (even though I am already skipping some of the photos). So you'll have to wait another two days to see the rest of the island!
