Hanbit Tower

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.

The tower was built in 1993 as the centerpiece of the Taejŏn Expo, a major international science and technology exhibition. It remains one of only three original structures from that event still standing today.

The name means 'Tower of Great Light' and reflects how the city values scientific progress and discovery. It anchors the Expo Science Park and serves as a landmark for visitors interested in understanding Daejeon's focus on research and innovation.

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 tower continues to house physics experiments and serves as an active research site for scientific studies. This means it functions as both a historical monument and an ongoing part of the city's scientific activities.
