Grab your camera and let’s go to Han River! There are 3 must visit places when fall is approaching. The weather is getting cooler and the sky gets higher and clearer, it’s the right time to take the best photo in your life.
Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain (반포대교 달빛무지개분수) is the first place to visit. It seems nothing special in day time, but the bridge turns into a dreamy place with music at night.
The Rainbow Fountain plunges 20 meters into the water on both side of Banpo Bridge over the Han River. When the sun goes down, 200 lights illuminate the fountain as it sends out dancing, rainbow-colored jets of water in the air in synchronization with music. The show is free of charge and you can use spacious parking lots near there. Four parking lots, more than 800 spaces.
The fountain boasts spectacular views from the hills, the Hangang River observation deck, and the moon-shaped Moonlight Square. Banpo Bridge Rainbow Fountain operates every day from April to October, four to six times a day for 20 minutes.

Would you like to have a beer when enjoying the night scenery? Then, go to Some Sevit(세빛섬)!
Some Sevit is a culture complex made up of three man-made floating islands near the southern end of Banpo Bridge, Han river. The islands were created with the theme of “flowers of the Han River” and represent the view, life, and the earth, as well as a flower in various stages of life.
The largest island, ‘Some Gavit’ symbolizes the view and takes the form of a flower in full bloom. It is a multi-functional cultural facility that can be used as a venue for performances, international conferences, exhibitions, and more.
The second island, ‘Some Chavit’ looks like a flower bud, an image of life. A range of cultural experiences and event zones including Beat Square, Youth Woods, and restaurants using 3D to bring themes to life are located here. The third and smallest island, ‘Some Solvit’ takes the form of a seed planted in the earth.
Strolling down to the island with gentle breeze touching your chin, you are having a truly relaxing moment. Also you would get the best back ground if you take a selfie there. Don’t miss the Instagrammable spots there!
