Mt. Namsan, located in the southern part of the traditional Seoul, has long served as a symbolic place for leisure and rest for Koreans. The () Namsan Traditional Village consists of 5 traditional houses relocated from various parts from Seoul, to show the different lifestyles of different classes existed in Joseon Dynasty. Namsan Seoul Tower Tower was the first tower-type tourism spot in Korea. The top of the tower is at almost 480m above sea level, including Namsan Mountain (243m) and the tower’s own height (236.7m). It has become one of the representative landmarks and multi-cultural venues in Seoul. Cheonggyecheon used to be a naturally formed stream before the Joseon Dynasty but was covered with concrete and a elevated highway during the 1960s and 1970s. Previously an example of successful industrialization and modernization, it has become a source of intense traffic, health and environmental issues in the 1980s and 1990s. Its restoration was completed in 2005, which has been highly praised as a restoration of natural environment, history, and culture.
