Day 4 (30th March 2017) – N Seoul Tower

Tips before you go to Namsan Seoul Tower:

As for my observation, N Seoul Tower is best for young couples only. Although everyone is welcome to visit here but much better if you have a partner to bring here so it will be a memorable for the both of you.Make sure to follow the Map or the instructions going to N Tower because it’s really hard to find this one.Don’t forget to bring the stroller or baby carrier of your kids.Bring foods & water! There’s a food area on the building but only few choices. You can bring foods that easy to open especially for the kids.Download a Klook app to avail the best offer 3 way package in N Seoul Tower. (Hello Kitty Island, Ssentoy & Observatory.)Another observation, only kids and young soul who only appreciate the Hello Kitty Island, Ssentoy & Observatory. Not recommendable to visit for the oldies.If you’re planning to put a lock on the Love lock bridge, much better if you will buy a lock first before heading to the Tower. You can find a love lock somewhere in Myeongdong or any other shops near to your Hotel.

How to get there:

Take the subway, and alight at Myeongdong Station (Subway Line 4), then exit 3. use the road to the right of Pacific Hotel and walk uphill for 15 minutes to Namsan Cable Car Station. Take the cable car to North Seoul Tower (around 5 minutes).

3rd Destination: Namsan Seoul Tower

Finally we arrived at N Seoul Tower and it’s almost sunset which gives a perfect view especially for the lovebirds. Honestly, it’s really hard to find the tower so make sure to follow the map or you can ask the locals that can speak English so they direct you the right way.

N Seoul Tower is a communication tower located in Seoul, South Korea. Built in 1969, and opened to the public in 1980, the tower measures 236.7 m (777 ft) in height (from the base) and tops out at 479.7 m (1,574 ft) above sea level. It has also been known as the Namsan Tower or Seoul Tower. After the tower’s original owner merged with the CJ Corporation, it was renamed the N Seoul Tower (official name CJ Seoul Tower).

Love Lock

Did you heard about the love locks in Seoul? Well, here it is. You can found it on the top of the building of N Tower. Lots of tourist visiting here especially young couples. If you want to put a love lock on the bridge, you can found a shop that sells variety of locks along with a pen.

📷

This love lock set with a free pen is KRW 2,000 only. Not bad.

📷

This is our Love lock and ready to hang in the bridge. Hopefully we can see this again if we will come back to Seoul.

📷

This place has now become a popular date spot for couples. Like the Pont Neuf bridge in Paris, couples head to the tower to lock their “padlock of love” onto the railing and to dream that their love will last forever.

📷

The lovers also put a lot of names everywhere and anywhere around the bridge. Even this one big heart!

📷

Raf how did you broke the chair? just kiddin’! haha!

📷

If you want a great souvenir, I suggest you have this one. It can be found also at the top of the building near to the Love lock shop. 📷

This is the result. Ta-dah! This is their small size cost KRW 13,000 and if you want a bigger size, they have a large one for KRW 25,000. It only take 10-15 minutes. Make sure you have a copy of the best picture you have in your mobile phone.

Before heading back home, we saw this one place where you can see a nice view from the top, and it’s called the Proposal staircase. It seems that this is the best and romantic place to start a proposal to your loved one.
