Directly across from Chuncheon on Uiam-ho (Uiam Lake), the little island of Jungdo is packed in true Korean style with enough recreational options to occupy a schoolful of children. Take your pick from bicycle rental and boat hire , rowing or waterskiing. There’s also an outdoor swimming pool , sports fields and picnic areas.
There are a couple of restaurants and a general store on the island, but most visitors bring their own picnic. Camping and simple self-catering pension accommodation are available; rates rise by ₩11,000 on weekends.
Note that Jungdo will be closed during the construction of a Lego Land theme park on the island.
To get to Jungdo, take bus 74 or 75 heading south from downtown Chuncheon (₩1300, 10 minutes). The ferry pier is off the main road. Ferries take five minutes.
