Chuseok Holiday Part 七 Mapo Hangeng Park and 63 (Yuksam) Building

So, my last touristy visit over my Chuseok holiday was to the Yuksam building. It used to be the tallest building in South Korea until the Hyperion Building and Northeast Asia Trade Tower opened in 2003 and 2009, respectively. It's called the 63 Building for its 63 stories, three of which are basement level floors. The "Sky Art" observation floor houses an art museum, so you can enjoy the art and a spectacular view of the city.

I'm sorry my pictures did not come out well. I went at night and pretty much everything looks like a blurr of lights in my pictures. I am planning of going sometime during the day, so I can retake pictures that will be come out with better views of the city. But, it is beautiful at night. I'm sorry that my camera couldn't translate the view into a nice picture. So... disclaimer over, time for the pics....

 My favorite piece of artwork that I saw was this painting-- a rush hour subway scene showing all different kinds of people, lumped together because of the Seoul public transportation system.

Video of the elevator ride up 60 floors-- you can hear the English tour guide spiel over the intercom towards the end.
