South Korea Namhansanseong West Gate Observatory
Best spot to take photos for a night view of Seoul. You can see the entire skyline of Seoul with the Lotte World Tower and N Seoul Tower together.
Namhansanseong was a fortress of the Joseon Dynasty, a historical site with a sad story about the surrender(1636) of a Joseon king.
The invaders established a new nation in China, called the Qing dynasty.
Now, this place is the best spot to take photos of Seoul city.
Because this place is crowded with photographers, you need to visit early if you want to use a tripod.

Travel Information
If you ride a car, I recommend parking in the Namhansanseong rotary parking lot and walk about 30 minutes.
If you ride a subway, use the 8th line and take off at 'Namhansanseong Entrance Station. Then I recommended taking a taxi to 'Gookcheongsa, an old temple near Namhansanseong's West Gate.
