Review:

The lakeside city of Chuncheon is a great spot for romantic getaways and just one hour from Seoul when using the ITX Train. The city's name means "a stream that flows when spring comes," and is known for its beauty is both the spring and the fall. Visitors can spend a full day in Chuncheon, but a two-day itinerary is recommended to get the full experience for a relaxing trip to recharge and reconnect. Namiseom Island is a popular attraction in Chuncheon and is also the site of the film "Winter Sonata." The island was not always an island, however, and was formed due to the creation of the Cheongpyeong Dam. There are many walking trails on the island that usually takes a half-day to explore. Other popular attractions on the island include several picturesque roads, the UNICEF Hall, and Song Museum. In Chuncheon, visitors can stroll Jade Garden Natural Arboretum, the Gyeonggang Rail Bike, Myeongdong Street, and the Chuncheon Romantic Market.
