Yeouido

Sue and I took an afternoon trip over to Yeouido, which is a quasi-island along the Han river in Seoul. (I think it's technically an island in that it has water on all sides, but the water on one side is really more or a tiny stream that looks like you could wade through it without much difficulty.)

Yeouido park.

Statue of King Sejeon in the park.

Sunset view of Seoul from Building 63 (big, golden-colored skyscraper on the island).

View of Seoul (south of the Han) starting to change into its nighttime colors.

Building 63 also has a small aquarium. Not bad, but pretty small and pales in contrast to Atlanta's mega-behemoth Georgia Aquarium.
