Its name originated from General Nami who died at the age of 28 after being falsely accused of treason during the reign of King Sejo, the seventh king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. Although his grave wasn't discovered, there were a pile of stones where his body was supposed to be buried. It was believed that if someone took even one stone from there, it would bring misfortune to their house. A tour company arranged the grave with soil and then developed Nami Island into an amusement park.

From the guesthouse, we took train from Hongik University station to Wangshimni station. It took about 30 minutes and later we changed to Mangu then to Gapyeong. After arrived at Gapyeon station, we took texi to the port of Nami Island.

The beauty of this island was finally unearthed when a popular Korea drama ‘Winter Sonata’ had its filming there, where such scenic and extremely romantic settings had resulted the main actors to fall in love in the show. Since it is an island, we took a 10 minutes ride by ferry from the main land to the island.
