Namsangol Hanok Village, is a village of Korean
traditional houses that have been restored to preserve the original atmosphere
of the area. The area offers the opportunity to experience a wide cross-section
of Joseon-era citizenry and activities, from royalty to commoners. The
location of the village was originally the site of a well-known Joseon-era
summer resort called Jeonghakdong. Jeonghakdong means "The land of the
fairies for the blue crane where the Jeonugak Pavilion stands along the stream
in the valley". The area boasted such superb scenery that it was called
the land of the fairies and was considered one of the five most beautiful parts
of Seoul.

Banpo Bridge is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the
Han River. The bridge is on top of Jamsu Bridge, forming the upper half of a
double-deck bridge; it is the first double deck bridge built in South Korea.
When it’s the season of high rainfall, the Jamsu Bridge is designed to submerge
as the water level of the river rises, as the lower deck lies close to the
waterline. Tonight we are watching the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain; it is
claimed as the world's longest bridge fountain that set a Guinness World Record
with nearly 10,000 LED nozzles that run along both sides that is 1,140m long,
shooting out 190 tons of water per minute. The water is pumped directly from
the river itself and continuously recycled. The bridge has 38 water pumps and
380 nozzles on either side, which draw 190 tons of water per minute from the
river 20 meters below the deck, and shoots as far as 43 meters horizontally.
thank you all for stopping by and viewing the post...
