N Seoul Tower

    The best part of our trip to Seoul, and perhaps the most touristy thing we have done thus far, was going to N Seoul Tower. At 236.7 m tall on the top of Namsan Mountain in the middle of the city, it truly is the symbol of Seoul. The tower seemed to always leer in the distance, especially at night, when it's blue lights act as a beacon for the city centre. To get up and down Namsam Mountain you can ride the Namsan cable car to the top, which also offers beautiful views of the city. 
    The tower itself has 4 observation decks, with restaurants and many gift shops. More importantly it offers 360 degree views of the city with information on the different parts of Seoul and other interesting landmarks throughout the city. Although the visibility was low on the day we went, it still puts in to perspective just how expansive the city truly is. 
   Also at N Seoul Tower are thousands of 'locks of love'. At the base of the tower, fences are adorned with thousands of decorated locks hung by couples from around the world. The idea is that couples leave the locks there as a symbol of their everlasting love, a vow never to separate and to throw away the key. 

It's also tradition to leave your mark on one of the many wooden railings

Not too far away I guess...
