Namsan Park

Once the tallest tower in Asia, it has the best panoramic view in all of Seoul. Many locals and visitors have visited the tower to catch a glimpse of the city’s landscape while enjoying the nature of Namsan Mountain and a host of other attractive facilities. Owing to the tower's unique structure, the observatory section boasts spectacular views of the changing foliage throughout all seasons. The tower can be reached on foot, by taxi or, on the south side, by cable car. The cable car is available from 10:00-22:30 and is reached by a 10 minute uphill walk from Myeongdong station, from exit 2 or 3. Centrally located, it can be seen from nearly anywhere in Seoul and is a helpful reference for visitors on foot. There's also a Teddy Bear Museum at the tower which has lively illustrations of Korean culture. The fences around the tower are adorned with many thousands of padlocks, where couples pledge their love to each other and throw away the key.

It is the first history museum specializing in Japanese colonial era.

History buffs may heard of the notorious "Seobinggo hotel" used by Chun Doo-hwan's Defense Security Command, but dissidents were more likely to be sent to anti-communist branches like Namyeong-dong before South Korea became a democracy. The branch, which functioned as an interrogation and torture chamber, was built in 1977. This is where university student Bak Jong-cheol was tortured to death, which led to massive pro-democracy movements and forced Chun to agree the direct election of president. The site has been renovated by the police as a museum to commemorate the victims of the authoritarian regime's oppression.

You can see various trees and plants, and there is a way to take a walk.
