Why
3
stars?
The
Diamond
Tower
observatory
is
a
proud
symbol
of
the
city
of
Busan.
And
rightly
so!
It
is
120
meters
high
and
offers
brilliant
day
and
night
views
across
the
city
landscape,
especially
the
city
port.
It
is
a
must
visit
spot
for
all
visitors.
The
tower
was
build
in
1973
and
it’s
design
was
inspired
by
the
Dabotap
Pagoda
in
Gyeongju.
The
structure
is
situated
in
Yongdusan
Park
and
does
not
have
transmitting
equipment
which
makes
it
distinct
as
a
true
observation
deck
for
entertainment
and
relaxation.
The
base
of
the
tower
has
a
few
shops
and
a
cafe
that
has
an
automated/robotic
barista.
Place
your
order,
scan
your
receipt
and
watch
the
apparatus
move
about
as
it
makes
your
beverage.
It
is
a
spectacle
of
automated
technology
and
entertainment.
Before
going
up
the
high
speed
elevators,
you
walk
through
an
exhibition
hall
that
presents
historical
information
about
the
tower.
Once
at
the
top,
you
are
greeted
with
the
panoramic
views
one
would
expect
at
such
heights.
After
you
take
in
the
sights,
you
take
the
elevator
to
the
base
of
the
tower
and
navigate
through
other
exhibits
highlighted
with
neon
colors
and
special
effects.
It
is
a
fun
and
sensory-overload
journey
when
exiting.
I
highly
recommend
it.
