Famous for its beautiful tree-lined roads, Namiseom Island is a wonderful getaway if you want to relax and see lush greenery, away from the city center. The island was formed as a result of the construction of the Cheongpyeong Dam and is just an hour away from the suburbs of Seoul. 

We then continue to a lovely French cultural village approximately 10 km along the lakeside road from Cheongpyeong Dam. Petite France, which consists of 16 French-style buildings, serves as both a French cultural village as well as a youth training facility. The village contains a memorial hall dedicated to celebrated French novelist Antoine de Saint-Exupery,. It also has a gallery displaying sculptures and paintings of 'le coq gaulois' (the Gallic rooster), which is the national symbol of France. 

Finally, explore Myeong-dong Street, which lies in the heart of downtown Chuncheon. This hip area is lined with fast-food restaurants, night clubs and movie theaters. Originally known as Joyang-dong, the street's name was replaced to "Myeong-dong," which is also the name of Seoul's hippest shopping district. Visit the Jugang Market and Chuncheon's underground shopping district. You can even try some delicious dakgalbi from one of the many dakgalbi restaurants in the area.
