The N Seoul Tower, a romantic island in the heart of the city. Seoul, South Korea. June 2015

The N Seoul Tower, is located right in the heart of Seoul, with beautiful views of across the whole city. Its only from up here that yiu can see just how BIG this city really is. It really does spread itself out over a very large area indeed.

Also, you can see why this tower and hill is called a romantic island in the heart of the city, they are padlocks everywhere up here, for the young, and not so young couples to declare their undying love for each other.

Padlocks and having your photo taken seem to be big business up here......................................

There seem to be some kind of typical Korean jousting/fighting show going on up top...............................

The views from up here over all of Seoul are just amazing....................................

Im guessing that some of these "locks of love" have been here a very long time............................

Aka Namsan Tower. It was quite visible from the Yongsan Army Garrison which I often visited 1981-83. Yongsan is a bit to the southwest. Missed a turn once on the way to Yongsan and found myself gloriously lost in downtown Seoul. I found my way back by spotting the tower and steering for it until I saw something I recognized at ground level.
