Seoul#9 Nami Island 남이섬

The beautiful Nami Island***** =) made famous from the Korean drama, Winter Sonata. Really serene and a romantic place, look at the pictures.. this place looks nice all season! 

A: How i wish to come here during autumn, footpath covered with orange leaves.. Spring is nice too =)

There are several ways to get to Nami Island from Seoul. You can refer to Nami Island for transport information. We chose the easiest way, taking the return Nami Island shuttle bus from Insadong Pagoda Park for W21,000 per pax. Journey took about 1 1/2 hours. All comfy in our seats, we have time to take a nap. Its is better to take the shuttle bus, compared to if you take a train yourself using the subway & korail system which can get complicated and involve in transfers of lines. But surely it's much cheaper using the train.

We bought the shuttle bus ticket from Nami Island Seoul Center two days before this trip, fearing that the seats would be fully occupied since they only run one bus per day. If you go Nami on a weekday, you can buy directly from the bus driver on the spot. If weekend I would suggest to buy the ticket first. The bus leaves at 9.30am, be sure to reach 10mins before. You might take some time to locate the shuttle bus stop as well, since there are no signboards. If you come from Jongno 3-ga station exit 1, go straight & you will see Pagoda park on your right, turn right along the park, and you will see the bus just further down. (opposite there's a 7-11 convenient store).

Cooling weather, we can spend all day taking photographs~

If you've watch the Thai movie 'Hello Stranger', would surely remember this scene of Bae Yong Jun statue. Lol, the actor picking Bae Yong Jun's nose. Its a hilarious movie, with a touch of romanticism. Strongly recommended to watch even if you're not travelling to Seoul =)

Can rent bicycle, electronic bicycle or follow a car tour. We just walked around the whole island. We thought walking provides ample time and space for exploration, most importantly photo snapping every now and then =) but a bicycle would be a nice tool to our shots, just like the couple in Winter Sonata.

We found this post card in Nami Island, how sweet is the moment!!

Our lunch, mocha + chocolate digestive biscuit. Bought it at 7-11 before taking the shuttle bus. YUMS~

Aaah, Our lungs are so much cleaner in Seoul~~

On board the ferry again, in time for the shuttle bus that leaves at 4pm. 

Bye bye Nami~~
