KLI 63 Building Formerly called the Daehan Life Insurance (DLI) 63 Building, people generally just call it the 63 Building. While the building officially has 63 stories, only 60 are above ground. The other 3 are below ground. Still, it remains the tallest building in Northeast Asia. Besides being a tourist and architectural attraction, the building contains many different attractions and amusement. The building resembles a small city, containing a beauty salon, post office, and ATM machines. Various stores sell everything from books to clothes to flowers to stationary.
