My friend Adrienne watches some TV or YouTube series that involves the members exploring South Korea. One of the things they did was take a cable car up a hill to N Seoul Tower.
N Seoul Tower is built on a massive hill looking over the city, so in order to get there, we first needed to walk up the hill toward the cable cars.
On the way, we saw this, which made me giggle and cringe all at once:

Anyway, after that, we made it to the cable car and stood in a surprisingly quick line. A view from the car:

| Mountain! |
Once we got off the cable car, we still had more walking to do. It was winter, so the trees had no leaves, but they were still picturesque and pleasant:
This next part definitely left an impression on my memory.
It's called the Love Locks, and it's a viewing deck with fences and posts and whatnot. Attacked to these fences and posts are thousands of locks:
Why locks? Well, you see, what happens is this: a Korean couple writes their names on two locks. Then they lock those two locks together and attach them to the fences or posts here. It's a symbol of love lasting forever.
Anyway, I don't remember what these things are, and I haven't been able to figure out from reading online, but I'm going to take a guess that they are made for smoke signals. The mountain is quite high, after all, so smoke from those funnels would be visible from most of the city.

After this... it was on to the tower!
