As I commented earlier it must be a requirement in this part of the world for every city to have a tower. This is Busan's effort, the 120 meter Busan Tower in Yongdusan park, and while it looks a bit weathered it does offer nice views of the harbour and downtown Busan. The statue seen here is that of Admiral Yi Sun-shin (1545-1598), a Korean naval leader noted for his victories against the Japanese navy during the Japanese invasions of Korea (1592-1598). Also to be found in the park is a memorial tower commemorating the April 19th student uprising, a stele containing the National Charter of Education, a bust of someone called Baeksan An Hui-je, a victory Bugle, a flower clock, men playing mahjong, and, of course, the tower itself.
