Protected within a 109-hectare park and crowned by N Seoul Tower, one of Seoul's most
distinctive architectural features, Namsan is the most central of the city's four guardian
mountains. Locals actively patronise the park, keeping fit and taking in the cooler, sweeter
air on hiking paths to the summit, including one that follows the line of the old Seoul Fort-
ress Walls. The summit itself is highly commercial but still worth visiting; you won't just
be marvelling at the view, but also at the multitude of inscribed padlocks that adorn the
railings here - all signifying lovers' devotion.
