Namsan Park
Namsan, the mountain that stands sentinel in the centre of
Seoul, is a popular recreational feature in the city. A cable car,
and stairway, takes visitors to the summit, where there are several
attractions to enjoy, including the Maritime Aquarium, botanical
gardens, fountains and the Seoul Tower, which, rising 1,575ft
(480m), offers a fantastic view of the city and surrounds. The
revolving restaurant on top of the tower is particularly popular
for dinner because of the breathtaking view it affords of Seoul by
night.
