Visit South Korea no.1


Landmark of Seoul, Namsan Seoul Tower

          From Big Ben to Statue of Liberty and to Sydney Opera House nations across the world are dotted with iconic architecture that have become synonymous with their city and Korea is no different. For Seoul, the must-visit attraction for international visitors is Namsan Seoul Tower, visible from nearly anywhere within the capital. 
          
          Namsan Seoul Tower was the first tower-type tourism spot in Korea. The top of the tower is at almost 480m above sea level, including Namsan Mountain (243m) and the tower’s own height (236.7m), making it one of the tallest towers in the Orient. It is comprised of Seoul Tower Plaza, recently opened to public access after 40 years and N Seoul Tower operated by CJ Foodville since 2005. The tower was first established as a broadcast tower to send out TV and Radio signals in 1969. As of now, it has become one of the representative landmarks and multi-cultural venues in Seoul.

          The entire city of Seoul can be seen spreading out in all directions from the observatory at the top of Namsan Seoul Tower. Visitors can also enjoy trying on hanbok and visiting various exhibitions within the complex. Many restaurants and cafés at the tower are great for taking a break. The tower becomes even more romantic at night especially when the city lights up.

          Korea is really big on romance. There are some notoriously romantic places in Korea, one of those being the love lock trees in Namsan at the base of the Namsan Tower.

          According to a traveler who once experienced it, "The idea is that you and your significant other buy or bring a lock, write a message on it and then attach it to one of the “trees” or at the fences in essence locking your love. It sounds cheesy, but they actually look pretty cool." So before you and your loved ones leave at Namsan Tower, make sure that you've already attached your lock that symbolizes the strong relationship that you have.

Deforestation

          Wikipedia: Deforestation , clearance or clearing is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. The most concentrated deforestation occurs in tropical rainforests . About 30% of Earth's land surface is covered by forests.           "The world’s forests along with its oceans, absorb enormous amounts of the carbon dioxide that circulates in the atmosphere. They are effectively the Earth’s lungs and protecting those lungs is crucial if we are to defend the planet’s biodiversity and fight global warming,".....
