Seoul Tower

 Viewable from almost anywhere in Seoul, Seoul Tower serves as an excellent landmark. Built on a 262 meter peak in Namsan Park, the tower reaches to 480 meters above sea level. When the weather and pollution levels cooperate, visiting the observation tower (370 meters above sea level) allows you to view the entire city and surrounding areas. Because of the vistas, many people enjoy climbing up here for early morning exercise or for a romantic stroll after dark.
 The complex containing Seoul Tower also contains several other attractions for tourists. Several exhibit halls display pictures of old Seoul, local birds, and towers from other countries. Fairy Landhas several exhibits with Disneyland-like robots depicting famous fairy tales and children's stories. The Global Village Folk Museum display products and handicrafts from around the world. The World Musical & Animal Land has life-sized robots similar to Fairy Land, depicting animals from around the world in a musical band. The best and most attractive part of the Seoul Tower is the Love land with Key locks. Couple from far away come and put their key locks to remember their love for ever. They made their memories by taking some picture around. The view of Seoul city from the top of Tower is incredible. It is charming to look at Seoul, the city of life, spreading hundreds mile away... Restaurants at both ends of the cable car offer Korean food. You can also buy snacks and drinks around Seoul Tower
