Our next stop is the 63 square skyscraper, a landmark for the 1988 Olympics
commanding spectacular views of the city
It is one of Korea's tallest and most recognized buildings
63 squares iconic gold color is the real thing
each of the 14,000 panes of glass was coated with a thin film of 24 karat gold which catches the sunshine
reflecting gold, red, and silver as the Sun sets
giving the tower its stunning multi-colored sheen
