Banpo Hangang Park
On the south bank of the Han River, this park offers walks and views of Banpo Bridge and the city.
Why choose this place

Make the most of your visit
The bridge is known for its Moonlight Rainbow Fountain. It does not operate continuously, so check the day's schedule.
Stories from the record
A bridge becomes a performance space
Work on the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain began in 2007, with an opening ceremony in 2009. Water, music and lighting turned a crossing into a place to stop and watch the river.
What does 1,140 meters measure?
The official figure adds the fountain sections on both sides of the bridge. It is not the length of a single side. Viewing the upstream and downstream edges helps explain how the installation spans the river.
Water changes with light
By day, watch the shape of the jets; after dark, notice light and music. The water itself is not colored. Operation is not continuous, so check the official schedule and explore the bridge and riverbank when it is off.
