The Grand Hyatt lit up its entrance, garden and part of its hotel in green on Tuesday evening as part of its St. Patrick’s Day tradition. Namsan Tower in Seoul also lit itself in green. Around the world, the Great Wall in China, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, the Moulin Rouge in Paris and the Empire State Building in New York joined in the tribute.
