Introduction

N Seoul Tower is a landmark tower atop Namsan in Seoul, offering a panorama of Seoul's endless dazzling cityscape, a magnificent and romantic sight in Seoul. N Seoul Tower (also Namsan Tower) stands atop Namsan in central Seoul, one of Seoul's most famous and representative landmarks and the best place for a city panorama and night view. The tower sits atop Namsan, a green hill in the city center, so although not extremely tall, its observation deck has high altitude and open views. Visitors take the Namsan cable car (gliding over the forest with views) or hike up, then ascend to the deck. From 360 degrees you see Seoul's vast, magnificent, endless city panorama: the endless high-rises and districts stretching to the horizon and the Han River winding through, vast and stunning; at night the city becomes a dazzling, endless sea of lights, breathtaking, the best night-view spot. The tower is also a famous romantic landmark: below it couples hang love locks on the railings, colorful and warm, romantic (Namsan is also pretty in spring cherry and autumn maple). A visit to Seoul, ascending N Seoul Tower for the dazzling panorama, is a magnificent sight.
