Banpo Bridge Moonlight Rainbow FountainGangnam · Sinsa 3S
Photo: KTORunning about 1,140 m along both sides of Banpo Bridge over the Han River, this fountain is listed by Guinness World Records as the world's longest bridge fountain. Jets of water arc out from the bridge in time with music, forming a huge curtain over the river.
The evening shows are the highlight, when coloured lights turn the spray into rainbows against the Seoul skyline. On the south bank, Banpo Hangang Park has stepped seating and lawns where locals picnic while they watch.
