Namisom Island

Namisom is a small island with an area of 462 809 square meters, having the shape of a crescent moon. It appeared as a result of the construction of the Cheongpyeong Dam.

On the island is the tomb of General Nami (1441-1468), who made a great contribution to the suppression of the rebellion that occurred in 1467 during the reign of King Sejo, the seventh king of the Joseon dynasty. It was in honor of the general that the island got its name.

Arboretum of Morning Tranquility

The Arboretum of Morning Freshness or Morning Calm is one of the most beautiful places in South Korea. Here the film “Letter” was filmed, as well as various scenes from dramas and television programs.

You can see the beauty of Korean nature in one place. Depending on the season, the arboretum looks completely different.

In the arboretum "Achim Koyo" you can feel the beauty of Korean nature. It was opened in 1996 by Han Sang Kyung, a professor at the horticultural faculty of Samyuk University, who wanted to create a garden in the traditional Korean style.

The name "Achim Koyo" (Morning Calm) was borrowed from the words of the Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore, who called Korea "the land of morning calm."

The arboretum includes more than 10 thematic gardens, where about a thousand species of trees, flowers and plants grow.

On the territory are located:

• Korean garden with traditional Korean plants and large clay jugs;
