Seoul Tower

Today Al and I ventured to the Seoul Tower located on Mount Namsand in central Seoul. It is a communication and observation tower 236.7 meters high. The tower built in 1964 has been open to the public since 1980. One can take the cable car or use the stairs up the mountainside. I will let you guess which option we chose.






After riding the bus for almost an hour, taking the subway including having to change lines twice (this can prove complicated) and walking uphill through very busy narrow streets with virtually no sidewalk we reached our destination. Oh, did I mention it was hot and humid? But seriously, we had a wonderful day and enjoyed every bit of it.


































What's your guess ........ stairs or cable?
























This is the top of the tower.






































































































Just happened to look up and saw this.





































































Here is an Italian restaurant with a rooftop patio.




















People purchase locks and write messages on them and can lock them on the fence of the tower or trees around the site. I suppose it could be considered a romantic gesture.... or a hope that they will return.
