Banpo Bridge Fountain Uniques and Amazing In Seouls

The Banpo Bridge is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River, South Korea, connecting the Seocho and Yongsan  districts. Banpo Bridge is on top of Jamsu Bridge, forming a "double deck" bridge. When the water level rises too high, the Jamsu Bridge becomes covered with water and gets closed off. The lower deck incorporates pedestrian and bicycle paths that provide easy access to the Banpo Hangang Park from the north side of the river. Banpo Bridge is a girder bridge  and was completed in 1982.

Banpo Bridge Fountain is very original of the kind. 380 nozzles equipped along the both sides of of Banpo Bridge (570m each, 1140m in total) pump up the river water which will fall from the top toward the surface of the river 20m down. 200 lightings equipped around the fountain provides a gorgeous view of a beautiful rainbow while the columns of fountain water dancing to the music offers a unique and joyful experience to the public. The fountain has been registered in the Guinness Book of Records last December as the world’s longest bridge fountain.
