CN Tower...Seoul Styles

Seoul Tower is North of the main river that runs through the city, the Hanriver and is viewable from almost anywhere it Seoul. It's built on top of Nansan Mountain, which is around 260 M up already. The Tower itself is about another 250M. So it's quite high up from main ground.
We did a hike up the mountain to get there, and went in some forest path. It felt kind of like Canada, walking the trees, no traffic. It was serene.

This is a picture of me on these fun looking cylindrical statues. This is on top of the mountain, but at the base of the tower. Pretty view eh?

A Korean swordsman! ... ha ha ... clearly not his title, but it'll do.
Seoul Tower from below.




These random Locks on a deck below the tower. They are all "Love Locks..." ? Anyone can add to the collection.


See!




There's an entire fence of them!

We went up the observatory deck. It was 7, 000 won to get up there AKA $7.




The view from up top, we saw the sword guys, doing their thang :) Neat!



A view from in those binocular things.



The city was pretty to see from above.
Cool shadow effects :)
Up here they also had a revolving 360 restuarant. It's a lot like the CN tower, really.
No glass bottom floor though.


Here is that cylindrical statue thing I was sitting on above.
Going to this tower, reminded me a lot of Toronto!
