Built along the coast, Petite France is a French themed village, with beautifully constructed french architecture. Petite France is also a popular drama filming site which was featured in many shows such as "Running Man" and "You Who Came From the Stars".

After years of anticipation, Pinocchio e Da Vinci Italia Village has finally opened in Gapyeong, quickly becoming one of the area’s most popular tourist destinations. Not only is this place picturesque, but it’s also close to Petite France’s French Village! So if you want to spend a day in two villages instead of one, you can easily visit both. The structure creates an authentic Italia atmosphere that makes visitors feel at home

Nami Island is 63 km away from Seoul in the direction of Chuncheon, and is famous for its beautiful tree lined roads.

The Garden of Morning Calm showcases the beauty of Korean horticulture before the backdrop of Chungryeongsan Mountain. Visitors can walk among a profusion of flowers in unique gardens and through a lush forest of pine nut trees. The garden was opened in May 1996 by horticultural professor Han Sang-kyung, and features 20 different themed sections, connected by scenic walkways. The Sunken Garden is shaped like the Korean Peninsula and is carpeted with beautiful flowers on both sides representing the desire for South and North Korea to be reunited. It is easily one of the garden's most popular and meaningful attractions. The garden houses about 5,000 kinds of plants, including 300 varieties native to Baekdusan Mountain, known as a spiritual mountain to the Korean people. The garden has served as a filming site for many productions.
