The Rainbow-colored Banpo Bridge


This is one of the most famous bridges all over the world : BANPO Bridge, located in Korea. It is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River, South Korea, that's connecting the Seocho and Yongsan districts.

Can you see the colorful fountain up there..? That's real..! It shows that Bandpo Bridge is so eco-friendly, because it pumped the water directly from the river itself and continuously recycled. It has 38 water pumps which draw 190 tons of water per minute and shoots as far as 43 meters horizontally..!

And in the night, there are 200 lightings equipped around the fountain and make a gorgeous view as the colorful water falls down to the river like a rainbow.. The fountain has been registered in the Guinness Book of Records as the world’s longest bridge fountain.
