Nami Island + Gangchon Railbike + The Garden of Morning Calm One Day Tour (Depart from Seoul) Day Tours

Must Do Experiences

Hidden Gems

• Visit Nami Island early in the morning to avoid crowds and capture the serene atmosphere before tour groups arrive, try the local chicken soup (samgyetang) in Chuncheon city before heading to the attractions, and explore the quieter sections of The Garden of Morning Calm away from the main pathways for a more peaceful experience.
