FOUNTAIN OF BANPO BRIDGE
The fountain installed at Banpo Bridge in Seoul has been recognized as the world's longest bridge fountain in the Guinness Book of Records.
The fountain runs 570 meters on each side of Banpo Bridge. A total of 380 nozzles spout 190 tons of water per minute some 20 meters out from the bridge and into the Han River, using the water from the river below.
"As the fountain is listed as a record, the city can use the Guinness logo or other Guinness-related signs to promote it. We expect the world-recognized bridge to become a hot tourist spot," a city official said.
About 200 lights illuminate the bridge in a kaleidoscope of colors. The Banpo Bridge which crosses over the Han River in the Seoul capital of Korea has been given new life with the addition of a very interesting fountain that was specially designed to attract more tourists. The fountains at the Banpo Bridge were installed on September ninth and have since become a major tourist attraction. The bridge has turned into a major tourist attraction.
It has nearly 10 thousand nozzles (more exactly 9, 380) on either side of the bridge that shoots out 190 tons of water every minute. According to the Seoul mayor, Oh Se-Hoon, the fountain bridge would help acknowledge Seoul as an eco-friendly destination amassing more tourists.
