Sangsoo Herb Land, Ginseng Farm, Chuncheon Nami Island and Dongdaemun market on Day 5

Day 5...

We took a guided tour at the Sangsoo Herb Land, it's Asia's largest herbs garden which features thousands different types of herbs in the garden and glass house, it's really a big garden! We were greeted by the expert of Sangsoo Herb Land which believed to be the founder. He delivered a fantastic lecture about his herb education and various kind of benefits arriving from consuming herbs....there's all kind of herbs and flowers which we have never seen before. We took the tour around the glass garden and ended up....bought a lot of herbs!!! Thanks to the sales pitch....After lunch, we went to Chuncheon-si where we took a boat ride to Nami Island, where the filming site of the popular korean drama serial is...Winter Sonata. It began raining when we reached the ferry terminal...

Nami island was not originally an island, but it's made as a result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam, the most famous spot is of course the walk down the tree paths....where you can experience the "effect" of shooting winter sonata::)
We left Nami island for Seoul...which is about 1 hr 15 mins bus journey...i think we didn't go to Dongdaemun market for some reasons but i can't recall, instead we went to Doota shopping mall which is also at Dongdaemun. It's a big and well known fashion mall comprising of 8 floors in total. I guess we are all too tired to shop....we spent about 1.5 hrs there.
The rest are dinner and hotel....rest...
