Jaraseom Island
자라섬
A river island in the Bukhan River at Gapyeong-eup, known for its annual autumn Jaraseom International Jazz Festival and camping grounds.
Jaraseom Island (Korean: 자라섬) lies in the Bukhan River at Gapyeong-eup, about 2 km from Nami Island. It consists of East, West, Central and South islets, with a large car-camping ground and a flower garden. Since 2004 the Jaraseom International Jazz Festival has been held here every October, one of South Korea's signature outdoor music festivals. In autumn, the flower fields on the South Island bloom with cosmos, zinnias and more. Normally it is quiet and uncrowded, good for walking and picnicking. Admission is free; camping and events cost extra. Gapyeong Station is about a 15–20 minute walk away.
