A peaceful winter on Nami Island.
Located in Chuncheon, about 50km from the center of Seoul, Nami Island seems to retain its vibrant atmosphere, whether in spring or winter. Here, tourists can freely take photos with adorable snowmen, try walking on a frozen river, or simply breathe in the scent of snow on their hands.
The scenery on Nami Island, covered in white snow, is as romantic as a fairy tale.
Couples and newlyweds stroll hand-in-hand under the trees or leisurely ride tandem bicycles, enjoying the romantic and dreamy atmosphere of what is known as the "island of love." After a relaxing day, they gather by fireplaces or seek out restaurants to enjoy a warm bowl of seaweed soup or fragrant dakgalbi grilled chicken – a dish that every visitor is advised not to miss when coming to Nami Island.
Gliding along the pristine white roads
If you want to try some snow-related activities, you can visit the famous Everland amusement park. Located about an hour's drive from Seoul, Everland is truly an "entertainment paradise," overwhelming anyone who visits for the first time with its grandeur and vibrancy.
However, the biggest attraction at Everland in winter is the sledding area. Unlike other attractions, Everland's sledding area always draws visitors because it's considered a must-do activity for every Korean during the cold season. Young men and women in warm clothes eagerly flock to the giant sledding area, pushing each other on sleds or riding on inflatable floats to experience the thrill of gliding smoothly down the white slopes.
Skiing, skiing, and more skiing... that's just one of the reasons to love winter in Korea.
Besides Everland Park, there are several other popular ski resorts for visitors to choose from, such as: Seoul Plaza Indoor Ski Resort, Songapu Olympic Park, Yangji Ski Resort, Ski Resort, etc.
Enjoy the golden sunshine on Jeju Island.
If you want to experience a different side of South Korea in winter, then sunbathing on Jeju Island is the perfect choice. In winter, Jeju Island isn't covered in snow; the sun still shines brightly, and the sweet scent of citrus fruits wafts on the breeze.
Winter is also tangerine season on Jeju Island.
Jeju's winter is also the season for ripe tangerines. Tangerine orchards line the highway, stretch across valleys, wind through mountain gorges, and surround ancient traditional houses... the bright orange tangerines stand out brilliantly against the green foliage. Jeju tangerines were once offered as tribute to the emperor and remain one of Korea's most famous specialties. Besides enjoying fresh tangerines, visitors also have the opportunity to sample tangerine wine, tangerine jam, tangerine-filled chocolates, and various other sweets and foods made from tangerines.
Skip the peak tourist season in South Korea and try visiting this place to experience a different side of Korea in winter.
