In autumn, Nami Island is like a painting, with its golden ginkgo tree-lined paths resembling a carpet of gold and a romantic atmosphere that is simply enchanting. The best time to see the autumn foliage is from late October to mid-November. If departing from Seoul, you can take the Gyeongchun Line subway to "Nami Island Station," walk about 10 minutes to the pier, and then take a 5-minute ferry ride to the island. Alternatively, you can take a bus from the East Seoul Bus Terminal to the Nami Island entrance. On the island, you can rent a bicycle or explore on foot. A recommended route is Entrance Plaza → Ginkgo Tree Lane → Autumn Foliage Tunnel → Art Zone → Lakeside Path. Don't miss the filming location of "Winter Sonata" and the Garden of Letters. Visiting in the morning is recommended, and bringing light snacks for a picnic allows you to enjoy the tranquility of autumn. The entrance fee, which includes the ferry ride, is about 15,000 won. Wear comfortable shoes and pay attention to the ferry schedule, as the last ferry departs around 6:00 PM. The autumn scenery of Nami Island is poetic, and spending a day leisurely exploring feels like stepping into a painting.
