City Towers

Seoul’s landmark with American spirit

A prominent city tower becomes a modern landmark, an observation tower, a city icon. Except for the Empire State Building in NYC, I’ve never been inside those city towers, nor have they been intentionally included in my itinerary. I was just contented to gaze from afar, and occasionally marveled its height. Most often I’d use it as point of reference, a lighthouse on land.

In Korea, the surrounding park and the path leading to Namsan peak in Seoul is excellent for walking, even at winter. So we walked to the top and then walked back down using a different route. It just so happen that Seoul Tower is on Namsan, close enough for me to take a snapshot at dusk – to document my walk.
