Title:
Banpo Bridge from N Seoul Tower
Caption / Description:

Looking southeast from the N Seoul Tower (엔 서울타워) on Mount Namsan (남산) in Seoul(서울).

Banpo bridge (반포대교) has the world's longest bridge fountain, with 9,380 nozzles on either side, running along the bridge for 1,140m, and capable of shooting the water up to 43 metres horizontally. The fountain's nozzles contain LEDs, allowing the water to be lit in multiple colours for fantastic night displays.

Banpo Bridge, which crosses the Han river (한강), was completed in June 1982, while the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain (달빛무지개 분수) was installed in September 2009.

Behind the tower blocks on the other side of the Han is Mount Umyeonsan (우면산).
