Although, I know Seoul is a great city as I lived there for a while...
I think you should change the name to
New pics of "one of the greatest cities on Earth."
Thanks.

By the way, Seoul seems to change itself very quickly.
I'm so excited to visit Seoul as well as Busan, again.

여기서까지 일부 몰지각한 한국인들의 "Uri가 무조건 세계 최고nida!!!"로 국제망신 시작이네.
안녕하세요 이렇게 영어로 모든 사람들한테 알리기 보단 저한테
메시지를 보내는게 어떴나 싶네요. 그리고 뭐가 잘못이죠? 이건 한국 포럼이고
서울은 우리 자존심이죠. 뉴욕 포럼 가면 다들 뉴욕이 세계 최고 도시이다
뭐다 하는데 저희가 기죽을꺼까진 없자나요. 전 현재 뉴욕에서 일하고 살고있지만
그렇게 최고인 도시는 아닌듯싶어요 정말 많이 더럽고 정리정돈도 안되있는곳도
많아서요. 그리고 제가 타이틀 수정은 못하고 앞으로는 영어로 여기다 쓰시는것보단
저한테 쪽지를 날려주시면 좋겠네요. 태클 아닙니다 그냥 제 생각입니다.

I agree with skyscraper03. We should make the title more accurate. Afterall... the greatest city in the universe is Busan, of course.

It was built in 1897, as the gate of Wongudan, the stage for the enthronement of Gojong. But now just the 3-storeys building, Hwang-gung-u and the gate remains. The Hotel occupied the ruins. pity.
thanks.

I feel sorry for mok dong, they currently own the tallest building in Korea but not for long.

But that's not the point, mok dong is has the best scenes around Seoul.

Keep the dusk photos comming guys, appreciate it.

Mokdong sure looks good.

However Tehranno between Gangnam Stn. and Samsung Stn. has to be the best scene(s) in Seoul.

Other contenders?

lol... the skyline of Jongro (old downtown) viewed from Ansan or Inwangsan (i mean from northwest) is a beautiful must-see, too.

and next contenders?

Hongdae is the most beautiful must-see with the best scenery -- the girls are much hotter than in Jongno or Gangnam.

For the buildings, Hongdae is alright. A bit above the Seoul average:

But for the street scenery it's the best spot in seoul because of the multitude of dancing clubs encouraging the girls to dress in a "hot way" at night.
