The Fountain Bridge
What was once an ordinary bridge in South Korea, is now a world wide attraction. The Banpo Bridge spans the Han River in Seoul, Korea. Drivers on this bridge are treated to an amazing water display as they pass across the bridge. Similar to driving through big puddle of water. A network of water canons extend the span of the bridge on each side. The canons shoot gracefully from the Banpo Bridge, much like a waterfall. The end result is a fountain similar to the Bellagio Hotel’s display in Las Vegas. The water canons dance to music in 100 different configurations. At night an amazing light show creates an even more fantastical scene. Work began last March on the design of water fountains as beautification project for Seoul.
“Installed on September 9, 380 nozzles on both
sides of the bridge pump out 190 tons of water from The Han river per minute.”
“Seoul Mayor Oh Se-Hoon, said that within the Hangang Renaissance project,
this landmark will help to establish Seoul as an environment-friendly,
economic and cultural center. it will contribute to attracting more tourists
an improve the quality of life for residents.”
