Points included in this audio guide

Pabellón Palgakjeong

Palgakjeong is a traditional octagonal Korean pavilion perched atop Namsan mountain, right at the base of N Seoul Tower. From this elevated vantage point, it commands sweeping panoramic views across Seoul. The distinctive eight-sided structure offers visitors what to see of the city's sprawling landscape, making it a worthwhile visit for anyone keen on both historical architecture and cityscape photography.

Mongmyeoksan Bongsudae (Smoke Signal Station)

The Mongmyeoksan Bongsudae is a cluster of five stone beacon structures atop Namsan peak, which relayed smoke and fire signals across the Joseon dynasty. Reconstructed in 1993, it's designated as Seoul Monument No. 14. What to see here are the remains of Korea's ingenious early warning system—a network that once connected the capital to distant provinces through coordinated beacon signals. Visit to witness this remarkable piece of medieval communication infrastructure.

Love Lock Terrace

The Love Lock Terrace sits near N Seoul Tower and draws couples and visitors who attach padlocks bearing love messages to designated structures throughout the space. You'll find decorative sculptures, a railinged bridge, and several themed photography areas that make this one of the park's most popular spots to visit. It's a straightforward place for a meaningful memento or memorable photo.
