韩国南怡岛 Korea Nami Island Part 2


南怡岛是个半月形岛屿
得名自南怡将军
南怡将军平定叛乱有功,后受污蔑早逝
在他原该下葬的地方上有一个石头堆
据说如果有人带走了那里的石头
将带来不幸

Nami Island is a half-moon shaped island. Its name originated from General Nami, who led a victory against the rebels but died after being falsely accused of treason. Although his grave was not discovered, there was a pile of stones where his body was supposed to be buried, it was believed that if someone took even only one stone from there, it would bring misfortune to their house.


南怡岛上不见电线杆
因为所有的电线都埋在地下
以保持大自然的风光
这里只见无数的杉树、银杏树、松树和枫树等

There is no telephone poles found on the island, this is because all electric wires were built underground to keep the natural feeling of the landscape. However, there are plenty of chestnut trees, ginko tree, pine trees and maple trees throughout the island.



基于韩国的冬天十分寒冷
从入口到开始每隔一段距离
都可以看到让公众取暖的地方
秋冬的时候

Due to the cold weather of Korea in Winter, every certain distance there are some fireplace for visitor to keep warm. During autumn and spring, they use dried leaves or charcoal to light the fireplace.


春吐新绿
夏树成荫
秋霜红叶
冬裹银装
是对南怡岛四季的形容
中央红松路上两排笔直的树干
再加上夜晚点缀在一旁像气球般的白色灯火亮起
更显宁静浪漫
松坡银杏路在深秋时一片金黄
秋风吹起,银杏叶点点飘落
是一副最亮丽的风景
岛上的枫树林-百枫密苑
在深秋10月时更是吐出最艳丽的红彩
另有红杉大道因是电视剧《冬季恋歌》的拍摄景点而闻名
水杉更是珍稀的树种

Spring: the sights and fragrances of nature’s reawakening
Summer: with cool breezes and the sheltering trees
Autumn: spectacular with autumn leaves in a riot of colors
Winter: a snow land
These best describe the four season in Nami Island.

Two rows of the pine trees lined on the side of the path of Central Pine Tree Lane. The path is quiet and romantic while the balloon shape lights turn on at night.

In Autumn, Gingko Tree Land is covered by beautiful yellow gingko leaves, while the leaves of the maple trees in the Maple Tree of True Love Lane turns red at the same time.
