    The view during the journey was stunning. Clear skies, ocean waves and vibrant greens. An absolute masterpiece of nature. As a downside for 30 minutes this costs a pretty penny so, although I really liked the experience, if you are traveling on a budget I'd skip this attraction completely. Walk the trail below the rails as an alternative, same views but for free. Now, if you don't mind spending that money, it's a 100% worth it.

    As a huge fan of Fu Bao, Everland is a place I've always wanted to visit. I bought an annual pass, and this ticket is for a friend. We saw the discounted price at the ticket booth while waiting at the park entrance; it was a great deal! I hope Ctrip will offer more promotional activities. To commemorate Ruihui and her mom being together, I'm including a photo of the three of them, plus Le Bao's dad! The Bao family are all adorable children.

    Seoul Tower, right? That's it. I've been there four times in ten years, and every time is the same. It's nice to have a drink and enjoy the view, the sunset, and the night view. The length of your stay will vary depending on what you want to do. Don't forget to get off the mountain in time.

    Lots to see. Love the acrobat live performance and various exhibits. You can order a coffee and enjoy watching the fishes in the huge tank. Recomend to buy tickets a day before on Trip. com. Price of the ticket is much lower on trip. com than at the Aquarium.

    Myeongdong Beacon Tower, located in Namsan Park in Seoul, South Korea, is also known as the "Mokmisan Beacon Tower." Reconstructed in 1993, it is not the original historical structure, but it still possesses a unique charm. From a historical and cultural perspective, the beacon tower was built during the Joseon Dynasty to transmit urgent military intelligence from the border to the central government. It served as a vital communication hub for the capital for over 500 years, demonstrating its crucial role in ancient military communications. From a scenic perspective, it is an excellent observation post, offering panoramic views of Seoul. The surrounding environment is also beautiful, complementing the natural landscape and cultural facilities of Namsan Park. In addition, nearby attractions include the Octagonal Pavilion and the Ahn Jung-geun Memorial Hall, which can be visited together. Overall, Myeongdong Beacon Tower is a site of both historical and cultural value, suitable for visitors interested in history and those who enjoy scenic views.
