Brother in law went to play golf with his friend today... and he dropped me at 朱家角....

漢城 is 首爾? 8-O lol

I have been looking up info about 首爾 (Seoul) for the past week or so...

Last night, this name came to my mind... 漢城...

Uhmmmm...

How come I don't see the city 漢城 in the official tourism website of Korea?

I wonder how far 漢城 is since it seemed to be the only Korean city I was aware of when I was growing up...

So I decided to google the word "漢城"....

漢城 is 首爾... Seoul is Seoul? 8-O lol

Stupid does... stupid does... apparently, the name has been changed since 2005.... 8-O lol

享受免費乘坐南山傾斜型透明電梯

http://tchinese.seoul.go.kr/gtk/news/news_view.php?idx=10910

3號隧道入口↔ 南山纜車間，供遊客免費使用

        首爾市的傾斜型透明電梯 -“南山翱樂美”（登南山的意思）。該電梯往返於南山3號隧道竣工紀念塔廣場和纜車乘車區。該傾斜電梯的外壁由透明的玻璃制成，可從電梯內部俯視整個首爾市。並且，從明洞站與會賢洞等地，也可以很方便地前往N首爾塔遊覽。

        首爾市有關人士稱“自首爾市設置傾斜型透明電梯以來，減少了殘疾人與遊客，到纜車乘車區時，需要先爬傾斜面很陡的樓梯，再前往到南山的不便，而我們認爲這就是遊客大幅增加的主要原因”。他又說“我們將會繼續努力不懈，力求提高南山的可接近性”。
