A crescent-shaped river island in the Bukhan River, Nami is planted with long corridors of plane trees, poplar, and ginkgo that create symmetrical canopy tunnels widely photographed in Korean media. Originally developed as a family resort, the island now operates as a cultural theme park with galleries, cycle paths, and riverside promenades. Autumn colour transforms the avenues into golden and amber corridors.
