nami island

for those who are fan of " winter sonata" here is the place where the k-drama was shooted "Nami island". this place has just 40 years of history @-@

in fact , it's an example of creating beauty from nothing. originally, the island was a sandy plain which contained almonds and peanuts' fields from bang hari to nam san meon. the floods hitted that region so that it turned to an island. in 1994 , hyung byeori reservoir was built and contributed in the transformation of Nami to a real island.

in 1965 , Mr min pyeong doo the former governer of the korean bank bought the island and planed a forest above it. in 2001 , the island was rebought to Mr kang woo hyun. the island has become alive again. the owner has rediscoverd the place and added a magic touch to the place as results the island has its own name " republic of Naminara ". the visitors can enjoy their tour by bycicle , electronic cars or by small train. it's forbidden in the island to use anything that can pollute the area even the barbecue. you can take 2 hours to make promenade there but it can takes days to discover the beauty of Nami. besides, the island is a cultural icon too ,there, you can find galleries and museum too. every grain of sand represents the beauty of Nami.
