Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 20

<< Nam san(mountain) and Nam san Seoul Tower >>

Nam san is one of Seoul's landmarks. Located in center of Seoul, Nam san provides both scenic and entertaining amusements to Seoul residents and visitors.
To visit the Nam san tower, mostly, people either walk up the Nam san(mountain) or take the Cable car. It is recommended to take the cable car because it provides nice view of Seoul.
The mountain itself is 797ft high so if you are too tired to walk up either take transportations(bus or taxi) or the cable car.
The tower is 77ft high providing a broad view of Seoul.
After the Nam san Tower has been remodeled, more attractions and restaurants were installed. There are renewed observatory, which is the favorite spot among the Nam san tower visitors, several restaurants and cafes including one that rotates once in every 38 min., gift shops, playgrounds for kids, etc.
During the day, it would be a good course to walk up to the tower to have lunch or visit after lunch for an exercise. And at night, Nam san tower gets more "romantic."
After the sun sets, at every hour for ten minutes,the "Electronic Fire" performance takes place.
In addition, after the sun sets, at every hour and thirty minutes for ten minutes, the "Flower of Seoul" performance takes place.
And the work of Cerdric Le Borgne, the "Spirit of Light" welcomes the Nam san visitors.
Just like people visit Eiffle Tower when they go to Paris, they should visit Nam san Tower when they visit Seoul!
