My son sent me this photo from Seoul, South Korea. He said it was the geographic center of Seoul atop Mt. Namsan.
Anybody here been there?

I guess that Seoul's charter doesn't provide for annexations of unincorporated territory?
Could be! The country I could see that being true, I suspect it is just a geodetic marker on a mountain near the center of the city...

It looks to me as if the actual marker has a punchmark on it. I hope that some of our fellow posters don't notice that little detail since it has tended to rile them up in the past, suggesting as it does that any survey marker might mark an actual exact position. :>
Why did they spend so much time and money on that monument when a 12" long 1/2" rebar with plastic cap would be sufficient?

and easier to adjust.

Yes, percussive maintenance is an unknown adjustment tool to many.
Why would you spend so much time and money on a 12" long 1/2" rebar with plastic cap when just writing "thence to a point marking the geographic center of Seoul" would be sufficient?
More like "thence to a point marking the geographic center of Seoul, said point bears N 34d 42'57" E a distance of 0.007M from the dimple near the center of the hereinafter described monument..........
Looks like a slippery set up with a need for leg weights !
