Nami Island
We talked about Nami Island before in our blog post about "Stay in Korea for the Winter" however we didn't go in further detail about the history. Namiseom Island was formed as a result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam. It is a half moon-shaped isle, and on it is the grave of General Nami, who led a great victory against the rebels in the 13th year of the 7th king of the Joseon Dynasty, King Sejo (reign 1455 - 1468). Namsiseom Island is located out of Seoul but it's only an hour away and you can take the subway with no problem!! 
In the middle of Nami Island you will see a big grass field of about 316,320 square yards, which features education and training facilities as well as camping sites. If you are into water-sports, there are a lot of activities you can do there such as zip lining into the water, motorboats and water skiing. There is also a theme park with a merry-go-around, shooting range, and a roller skating rink. There are also accommodation for visitors to stay at such as resort villas and bungalows.

Part of the entertainment includes various rides, festivals, theme areas, and a Zootopia!!

Two of the most popular rides of the park is T-Express and Korea's first wooden roller coaster. Their Zootopia is a must-see by many since it exhibits 2,000 animals of 201 species.

A pair of giant pandas given from the Chinese President Xi Jinping as a symbol of friendship between Korea and China can also be seen at the Panda World.

The Trick Eye Museum has other businesses around the world, is a "one of kind" painting gallery which combines art with high-end techonology featuring AR (Augmented Reality) effect and 2D/3D illusions. Within the Museum there is an Ice Museum which is filled with objects that are fully made out of ice, such as iced TV, ice kitchen, ice slope, etc. You don't need to purchase an additional ticket for the Ice museum, with one you can enjoy both!!
A great part about this museum is that it stays open everyday from 9 am to 9 pm (last admission by 8 pm), making it popular among couples and tourists!! Outside of the museum you will see a statue which is seen as a landmark to find the Trick Eye Museum!!
