Introduction
Namsan has an elevation of only 265 meters and is located in the center of Seoul. Despite its low height, it has always been a popular leisure spot for Seoul citizens. From the mountain top, one can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the surrounding area, including various attractions such as an octagonal pavilion, N Seoul Tower, an ocean aquarium, and a fountain. On the halfway up the mountain, there are facilities such as Namsan Library. It is convenient to visit, as one can either take a cable car or walk up the stairs. Namsan, N Seoul Tower, Huigyeongdong, Taegeukdang Road, Jeongdong-gil Street, Jeonunsa Temple, Itaewon, and Hyanwonjeong Pavilion are all accessible by walking up the mountain. In addition, driving around is also a popular way to explore. Namsan Park has always been a place of great historical significance. On top of the mountain, one can still see the well-preserved beacon tower, which represents the original state of Namsan and was the center of the capital's defense. From the 479.7-meter-high N Seoul Tower, one can not only enjoy the beautiful view of Seoul, but also overlook the sea in front of Incheon. The revolving restaurant is particularly special, as one can taste delicious food while enjoying Seoul's night view. In addition, Namsangol Hanok Village, consisting of five traditional Korean houses, is also one of the popular attractions for tourists.
