Namsan (evening)

Namsan is one of the most famous spots in Seoul or should I say Korea. Whether for dating, for tourists, for friends, for families, to exercise...Namsan is a very good venue. Namsan boost a different scenic angles in all four seasons and the day and night time. This entry will focus on the evening version of Namsan during winter. I went there with my Korean best friend. After eating samgyeopsal, we headed to Namsan Tower (promoted as N Tower but we still call it Namsan not N) which is the main attraction of the mountain aside from the night view.  Namsan, literally means South Mountain, is a 262-meter peak in district of south central Seoul.

The mountain and surrounding area is a public park maintained by the city government. It is a popular spot for a panoramic view of Seoul. It is also the location of a smoke signal station called Mongmyeoksan Bongsudae' (Mongmyeoksan Beacon Tower, Hangul: 목멱산 봉수대), which was part of an emergency communication system during early times until 1895.
