The unique design of this tower is made to resemble an ancient Korean observation tower from the Silla period.
Aside from the entrance to the Expo Park, there is an additional 5,000 Won charge to go up to the observation deck. But, the panoramic views of the park and the city of Daejon (the spelling has changed) is worth it.
