We took a trip to the Six Three building here in Seoul. At the time it was built it was the tallest building outside North America. It has 60 floors above ground; three below. It is 817 feet high and is the tallest gold clad building in the world to this day. It casts a nice orange color on the ground below when the sun is shining.
The building is mainly an office building, but has become quite the tourist attraction with an aquarium, art gallery (the highest in the world), IMAX theatre, wax museum, and restaurants. The day we visited it was full of local school groups out on a field trip.
SkyArt is the art gallery located on the 60th floor. It has one of the best views of Seoul. It is panoramic and amazing on a clear day. You almost miss the artwork showcased in the gallery due to the amazing view. Check out my photos below.

| The aquarium was ok. A little on the small side. |

| Fish manicure anyone? |
 |
| Some of the tanks were even decorated for the holidays. |

The otter playground, which was closed because the otters were on a diet
(there was a place to feed them in one section of the tubing). |
This is the panoramic view from SkyArt. It was a pretty clear day when we visited, so we had a great view of the city.
