There are the three different places that we went to during the study trip.

Firstly we went to N Seoul Tower. It is an observation tower located at Namsam moutain in the central of Seoul. N Seoul Tower has a height of 497m above sea level and we are able to see the entire Seoul city from the observation deck. It was officially open to the public in 1980. There is a gift shop and also restaurant on the ground floor of the tower. Next to the tower itself, we are able to spot a tall red transmission tower.
