Hanbit Tower, Observation tower in Yuseong District, Daejeon, South Korea.

Hanbit Tower is an observation tower standing 93 meters tall in the Yuseong District of Daejeon. Its viewing platform offers views across the city, and the surrounding Expo Science Park features educational displays about science and technology.

Hanbit Tower was completed in 1993 for the Daejeon Expo, the first international exposition in South Korea recognized by the Bureau International des Expositions. It was initially operated by the Hanwha Group. In 2009 it was designated a mandatory retained facility, and it survived the 2014–2015 demolition of the Expo Science Park. It reopened on 21 May 2020 after a COVID-19 closure.

The name Hanbit means a single ray of light linking a wise past to the present and future. Each part of the structure carries Expo symbolism: 1,993 granite blocks at the base stand for the 1993 Expo and the Cheomseongdae observatory, the middle section for a scientifically advanced Korea, and the upper cone for the will to rise toward the future. The Daejeon mascots Kkumdori and Kkumsuni once stood in front; they have been replaced by the Kkum Family figures.

The tower is easily accessible by public transportation and situated within the Expo Park area. Plan your visit during daylight hours for the clearest views from the observation platform.

The 1,993 granite blocks at the base refer to the expo year and to the Cheomseongdae observatory in Gyeongju. The cone on top stands for the will to rise toward the future, and the middle section for a scientifically advanced Korea. The tower was the tallest in Daejeon from 1993 until the 193 m Daejeon Science Complex opened in 2021.
