After the free Hanyang to Seoul walking tour and a quick lunch, we visited Jeongdong Observatory...
It's located on the 13th floor of Seoul City Hall Seosomun Building.
It is a public observatory offering
Visited this Palace with Visit Korea Special VIP Tour in Autumn 2015.
It was awesome because there's a cafe selling drinks here.
You can grab a cup or two at a reasonable price while enjoying the views from here.
Deoksu Palace is closed on Monday, therefore there were
no visitors on the palace ground.
You can see the futuristic design of Seoul City Hall and
its surrounding buildings from here too.
The Old Map of Seoul, similar to the one our tour guide showed to us when we joined the
Hanyang to Seoul walking tour.
Deoksugung Stone-wall road (Doldam-gil).
This 1,100 meters stonewall lines a picturesque pedestrian
footpath that runs next to Deoksugung Palace.
Purposely walked past this "I SEOUL U" signage
and had fun posing before going to...
Seoul City Hall (서울특별시 청사).
Besides the unique design resembling the eaves of a Hanok house,
this building is also eco-friendly, by using photovoltaic, solar thermal
and geothermal energy to provide for roughly 28% of the energy consumption of the building.
With the size of a soccer field, the Green Wall is the largest vertical garden in the world.
It was featured in the Guinness World Record.
It also represents Seoul's ecology and green future.
The 65,000 plants emit negative ions, filter the air and
adjust indoor temperature and humidity.
Meta Epic: SeoBeol” is a symbolic artwork that expresses the long
history
of Seoul, which has been the capital city for 2000 years, by
incorporating
light, pathway, and “tornado” characteristics.
As parts of
the “Meta Epic: SeoBeol” artwork, the “Path of Myth”
symbolizes the
the dynamic myth of Seoul, the “Light of Hope”
symbolizes the hope of Seoul
citizens, and the “Tornado of Life”
symbolizes how the City of Seoul
communicates with its citizens.
Would love to have a drink at this cafe located on
9th floor Sky Plaza, however, this cafe had a full-house...
