Namsan Park Hyochang Park Yongsan Family Park Hangang Park
 
Namsan Park was designated as the No. 9 Park of Seoul on March 12, 1940. Within the park are Seoul Tower, Botanical Museum, Namsan Library, Yongsan Library and other facilities, in addition to the 10 commemorative statues of the patriots against the Imperial Japan including Kim Ku, Ahn Jung Keun, Lee Jun, Ryuh Kwan Soon, Bang Jung Hwan, Tae Gye Lee Hwang, and Dasan Jung Yak Yong.
Also housed by the park are the commemorative tombstones and memorial museums for Kim So Wol and Shibi. To the left of the Tower Entrance is preserved a time capsule containing detailed records on various working tools to educate people on the wisdom and knowledge people practiced at least 500 years ago in Korea.


Namsan Botanical Museum


Opened on December 23, 1968 at the entrance of Mt. Namsan, the Namsan Botanical Museum offers 82 branches of plants, 800 types, and 7,000 plants to include foliage plants, carnivorous plants, cactus, bonsai and others for people to come and enjoy seeing. In the spirit of 600 years of Seoul, the City of Seoul has launched a campaign to restore Mt.Namsan to its original conditions.
This campaign includes transfers and removal of military bases, foreigners' apartments, and U.S. military facilities to create citizens parks such as 'Traditional Cultural Village,' 'All Green Hill,' and 'National Anthem Ground,' while restoring fortress relics and other traces of our history. Consequently, the Foreigners Apartment of Namsan were destroyed and developed a new citizens park in 1996.
