Apgujeong - Seoul Photo Location
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.

This is Old Faithful for me. If you are in the Gangnam area or live near line 5, this is a wonderfully accessible area. There are many apartments that are older high-rises and have roof access. When going in, be quick and don't linger. When on the roofs, tread lightly and try to stay over the elevator area. The less bothersome we are, the less likely they are to kick people out.
From the roofs, you are treated to a great view of the river, Dongho Bridge, and Namsan Tower. Once the light fades, Dongho Bridge and Namsan tower light up and become highlighted against the darker surrounding buildings.
I would recommend taking lenses with a focal length on full frame between 24 and 100mm.
So, you have decided to make the jump and commit to a long distance hike. This is going to be an experience to remember for life and its only natural to want to capture it in some way. Some like to write, others paint, many love videos, but I love photos and I imagine you do too. Photos capture moments in a way that no other medium can. Nothing else can capture a moment so quickly, in such detail, and be able to hang it on a wall. What to take though? There are a dizzying number of options in regards to not only cameras but lenses and accessories. I hope I can help you get a better idea of what would do well for you.
