N Seoul Tower (officially N Seoul Tower, widely known as Namsan Tower) is a 236.7m communication and observation tower on top of Namsan mountain in central Seoul, reaching roughly 480m above sea level combined with the mountain's own height. Its observatory decks offer 360-degree panoramic views over the city, and the surrounding Namsan Park is a popular spot for hiking, cherry blossoms, and the thousands of "love padlocks" left on fences near the tower's base.
