Walking tour of Nami Island in Chuncheon, South Korea 【4K】 🇰🇷

Situated 63km from Seoul, Nami Island or Namiseom Island (남이섬 종합휴양지) is half-moon shaped isle in Cheongpyeong Lake, Gangwon Province. With the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam in 1944, the river water rose and as a result, this island was formed. Nami Island was named after General Nami, a notable figure in Korean history who served during the reign of King Sejo (1455-1468) and courageously fought in battles but died at the age of 28 after being falsely accused of treason. In 1965, Mr. Byeong-Do Minn aka "Tree-grandfather" used his retirement pension to purchase Nami Island and started to plant thousands of trees. In 2006, Nami Island declared its cultural independence from the Republic of Korea and became the Naminara Republic. This micro-nation has its own diplomatic and cultural policies including having its own national flag, passport, currency, and stamp.

The South Korean Coffee Resort

What could be more fun than a coffee theme park?

South Korea’s Gangwon Province and speciality coffee brand Tom N Toms have reached a deal to begin development of a nearly $100 million (USD) coffee-themed resort park and production headquarters.

According to numerous local sources, including Sport Features Communications and Korea Bizwire, the resort, coffee museum and production facility will fit within a 64-acre site in the Southern Chuncheon industrial complex. Chuncheon has been experiencing rapid growth since the International Olympic Committee announced that nearby PyeongChang will host the 2018 Winter Olympics. The coffee theme park and resort will be joined in the complex by a forthcoming Legoland museum sometime in 2017.

Gangwon Province announced that the deal with Tom N Toms will bring provide jobs for some 1,000 coffee industry employees, while 11 other industrial and retail companies are expected to join the resort park, which in addition to serving as a major roasting, packaging and distribution facility is being designed as an “environmentally friendly, family theme park.”

Tom N Toms has more than 400 retail locations in South Korea, with other shops in Mongolia, Singapore, Thailand and Los Angeles.
