Nami Island was formed as a result of the construction of the Cheongpyeong Dam. It is half-moon-shaped (462, 809㎡) isle. On it is the grave of General Nami. He led a great victory against the rebels in the 13th year of the 7th king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejo (reign 1455-1468).
Nami Island is 63 kilometers from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon and is famous for its beautiful, tree-lined roads. The island is 30 minutes away from Chuncheon and an hour away from the suburbs of Seoul. Since it is not far from Seoul, many couples and families come to visit.
A special feature of Nami Island is that there are no telephone poles. This is because all electric wires were built underground to preserve the feeling of nature of the landscape. The complex is 553,560 square yards with chestnut trees and poplar trees around the isle.
