Seoul is a fascinating city to see. However, most rarely get a good look of the vastness. As part of an ongoing series of blog posts. I am documenting all of the great locations to photograph a good cityscape of Seoul. In these posts, there should be enough information to know what to expect and if it is worth the journey.

The Banpo Bridge area holds a number of good subjects to shoot. In the summer, water is shot from and lit up on the east side of the bridge. If you can get up to one of the apartment blocks, you can get a good shot of Some Sevit with the bridge and Namsan tower in the background. Looking to the east, there is a clear view towards Yeiudo. 

This is one of the faster locations to get to and can be accessed from Express Bus Terminal or Sinbanpo Station. 

Be warned, the roof of the building I went up was locked and, after about an hour on the top floor, one of the residents told me off for being there and I left. Your mileage of those buildings may vary. From the apartments that line the edge of the park, it is possible to get a photo similar to the one at the top.

From the park itself, there are many possibilities. The bridge has a water shot at set times for most of the year and is lit nicely at night. There are views looking down the river towards Yeuido. Finally, being closer to Some Sevit allows for more detailed and abstract shots of the colorful building.
