How to Go to Nami Island: By Subway

There's another faster way now, by ITX train to Nami Island here.

More saving going through this route to Nami Island and another alternative if you couldn't get the shuttle bus from Tapgol Park.

Now, you need to take the train from Sangbong Station (Line 7 / Gyeongchun line / Jungang Line) to Gapyeong Station, Gyeongchun line (the nearest station to Nami Island).
