A few days ago, my friends and I went to Nami Island in South Korea to enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves. As soon as we arrived on the island, we walked among the red, orange, and golden trees shining in the sunlight, feeling like we were in a fairy tale world. We strolled along the paths, with a gentle breeze blowing and leaves dancing in the air. Every step we took was on a thick layer of fallen leaves, making a rustling sound that lifted our spirits. We kept taking photos, trying to capture these beautiful moments. For lunch, we tasted the local cuisine, which was especially delicious with the autumn atmosphere.

#100WaysOfTravel #south_korea #awesomepic #namiisland #koreatrip Catchy Phrase: Embark on an unforgettable day trip from Seoul, where adventure, nature, and fun await! The journey begins with a comfortable bus ride from the heart of Seoul, taking you through the scenic countryside to Alpaca World, a peaceful haven nestled in the mountains. Here, you’ll meet and interact with adorable alpacas as they graze in lush fields. Whether you’re hand-feeding them or simply enjoying the serenity, Alpaca World offers an immersive, up-close experience with these gentle creatures, perfect for animal lovers and families alike. Next, continue to Nami Island, a tiny half-moon shaped island known for its breathtaking natural beauty and romantic walkways. After a short ferry ride, step into this picturesque wonderland of towering trees, lush gardens, and scenic pathways. From the iconic tree-lined Metasequoia Lane to tranquil lakeside views, Nami Island’s landscape transforms with each season, offering stunning backdrops for photos, relaxation, or a peaceful stroll. The adventure doesn’t end here! Your final stop is the Ganchon Rail Bike, where you’ll pedal along old railroad tracks converted into a scenic biking path.

#travelchecklist #100waysoftravel #namiisland #southkorea #autumn I love visiting South Korea, especially in autumn for the stunning foliage. Nami Island is my top choice for witnessing the vibrant autumn colors, with its golden ginkgo trees and fiery red maples creating a breathtaking scene. In my opinion, it's the best place to experience autumn colors in South Korea. To avoid the crowds, we always take the first ferry to Nami Island, but it can be very cold in the morning. Make sure to pack essentials like gloves, a scarf, and a hat to stay warm while exploring. Comfortable walking shoes are a must since you’ll be strolling through long tree-lined paths, perfect for photos. A portable charger will keep your devices ready to capture the beauty all day. Don’t forget a small snack or a thermos of hot tea, as the island’s cafes might not open early. Lastly, pack a light waterproof jacket, just in case of a sudden drizzle, to keep your autumn adventure uninterrupted!

The tour I mentioned last time to Petite France Village🤴, after visiting the village in the morning, we headed to Nami Island🏝~ We had lunch at a spicy chicken restaurant near the pier🥢, but this meal was at our own expense💸~ Besides spicy chicken, you can also order rice, noodles, or potato pancakes~ I personally didn't find it too spicy, the chicken was very tender🐔, and there were also rice cakes and cabbage~ Potatoes are a local specialty, and their potato pancakes are chewy🥔, highly recommended! Nami Island is quite interesting, it calls itself the Republic of Nami Island~ There's a border crossing, which is actually just the place to board the boat~ The boat is quite large and spacious🛥, but there aren't many seats, though the ride isn't long~ Nami Island is most famous for its green tree-lined paths like the one in the picture🌳, with ginkgo and metasequoia trees~ I believe the place turns golden in autumn🍂, it must be stunning! In the middle, there's a snack kiosk, most famous for its red bean buns🥯~ It was really hot the day we went, so we ordered the red bean bun shaved ice🍧~ However, their shaved ice is made of relatively large ice chunks, topped with condensed milk🍼~ Whether you like this texture is a matter of personal preference~ We stayed on the island for about an hour or two⏳️~ Then it was time to take the boat back to the other side and prepare to return to Seoul🚍~ The tour had some great spots, but it was really rushed... If the tour could start a bit earlier and end a bit later🤏, it would be almost perfect~

Nami island is picturesque and amazing all year round. But you can expect these views if you’re going to Nami Island on upcoming autumn. There is so many tour bus package going to nami island but we decided to take the subway all the way from seoul to gapyeong station and then bus to the ferry station. We had dakgalbi for lunch at the ferry station before departing to nami island #winhkflight #namiisland #Seoul #Southkorea #남이섬 #AutumninKorea

#cherryblossom2024 Nami Island's cherry blossoms paint a picture-perfect scene, with delicate pink blooms adorning tree-lined paths. Walking amidst these ethereal flowers is a tranquil experience, offering a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of city life. There are a few picturesque spots perfect for picnicking. Look for a shady area under the trees or along the riverbank with a scenic view 🌸 Do prepare picnic mat and wet wipes for picnic Getting There By Shuttle Bus + Ferry: Tour companies offer shuttle bus services from Seoul to Nami Island. These buses typically depart from designated locations in Seoul (Eg Myeongdong, Dongdaemun) and take you directly to the Gapyeong Wharf, where you can then transfer to a ferry for the short ride to Nami Island. Do note the departure time from Gapyeong Wharf before leaving for the island 🏝️ for the trip back to Seoul #flowerlover #namiisland #springblossom #follow4followback #followforfollowback #followforfollow #like4like #likeforlikes

Nami island or Namiseom island is one of the popular tourist location for beautiful autumn foliage just outside the capital of Seoul. You need to take a ferry or opt for the fun way of crossing to Nami island via zip line. Wear comfortable shoes as travelling around the island is by foot. It’s a picturesque getaway so expect many tourist taking their photos. I woke up early and took a car ride of about two hours from Seoul and manage to arrived early at Gapyeong Wharf and bought ferry ticket for the earliest ferry ride to Nami Island before large crowd of visitors arrived looking for beautiful scenery and favourite photo spots. Don’t worry about food, there are many restaurants and cafes to ease any hunger pranks. The popular tree-lined pathways are glistening with bright yellow leaves, straight out of a set from a Korean- drama. Definitely a popular spot for the visitors. #korea #autumn #Seoul #namiisland #dotzsoh #Namiseom To experience autumn somewhere as magical as Nami Island is truly extraordinary.
