Nami Island ~ is an oasis for culture and leisure in peaceful harmony with
humanity and nature. After a five-minute ferry ride, guests meet a forest of
verdant trees holding up the sky and open grassy areas where ostriches,
rabbits, squirrels, chipmunks, ducks and peacocks warmly welcome visitors in
the midst of wild flowers. On Nami
Island, artists from all
over the world show-off their talents and share the sense of peace of mind the
island creates. The island is the site of Nami Island International Children's
Book Festival (NAMBOOK) and other cultural events take place every weekend,
making Nami one of the main cultural and artistic tourist attractions in Korea.
In 2006, the island declared its cultural and artistic tourist attractions in Korea. In 2006,
the island declared its cultural independence and was reborn as Naminara Republic. We have our own national flag,
anthem, currency, passport and phone cards, stamps, orthography and even a
certification of citizenship. Nami is home to several galleries and is the site
of the Song Museum, which also houses an outstanding
collection of international ethnic musical instruments. There are indoor and
outdoor stages, facilities for seminars and workshops in addition to a 46-room
morden hotel and 10 cottages. Nami
Island is dedicated to
improving the mental and physical well being of children throughout the world.
As such, we serve as the main sponsor of the Hans Christian Andersen Award and
contribute generously to Unicef. Serving as the location for the
internationally famous television series Winter Sonata has helped the island
attract 2,000,000 Korean and foreign visitors every year. Naminara is unique in
other ways, also. At night, all the lights are turned off on the island so that
visitors can harmonize with nature under the light of the moon and stars. Most
of wood and bottles generated by visitors to the island are recycled and
re-used. Nami has a very open hiring and retirement policy so a diligent and
honest person can work until they are 80 years old if they wish. On Nami Island
all feel close to nature. Smiling people with peaceful hearts walk, Along the
river where a song of love spreads. And become one, With lasting freedom, As
poets, painters and musicians.
