Short but beautiful trip
Gorgeous neon lights illuminating the 236 metres N Seoul Tower. The cityscape and night lights were breathtaking. Tip: Catch the cable car ride to the top of the N Seoul Tower before sunset and watch the tower lit up with colourful lights. 👍🏻 #lifeatexpedia #lights #nseoultower #korea
The colours in this view are simply amazing. Looking up at N Seoul Tower through some of the love locks...worth it:)
