Fountain "Moonlight Rainbow»
In 2008, the South Korean capital - Seoul was one interesting sights higher. Most BANGO (Banpo), which connects the banks of the River Han in the past did not differ from other bridges, was turned into an unusual fountain.
The jets of the fountain like a waterfall, special lighting creates a great effect of game of light rays and jets of water. Especially beautiful waterfall looks like at night. BANGO Bridge has two tiers, and if you are on a lower observation deck, you can feel yourself inside a huge waterfall. Admire the wonderful light show can be both day and evening.
Gwanghwamun Square
The name was given the gate Gwanghwamun Square - the main gate of Gyeongbokgung palace complex, which served as the residence of the monarchs of the Joseon Dynasty, and was built in 1399.
During the Joseon Dynasty road passing in front of Gwanghwamun gate, called Yukcho-burn, that is, literally, "the six orders of the street", because it is here that housed the main royal authorities.
Monument to King (Wang) Sejong the Great
The only aquarium in Korea, divided into six thematic sections, contains approximately 40 thousand. Fish and 600 species of marine life - a truly unforgettable sight!
Lotte World (Lotte World) - indoor entertainment center: thrilling rides, an ice rink, various shows, folklore museum, walking trails by the lake ... The park is open to visitors 365 days a year, regardless of the weather.
Artificial floating island
If you walk along the Han River, which divides into two roughly equal parts of the capital of South Korea, somewhere in a central district of Seoul near the bridge Panpho can see the curious structure, consisting of three "floating" on the surface of the river building futuristic and one scene -too float.
The three islands are located next to each other and are connected to the triangle track. Each of the islands has its own name - Vista, Viva, and Terra. Vista and Viva a little more and consists of three floors, while the Terra -pomenshe, there are two floors.
The largest island - Vista. Its usable area is m2 10,845.
Viva half the area - 5373 m2. Both islands have roughly the same direction and purpose. They settled rooms and halls for cultural events - exhibitions, conferences, receptions, weddings, concerts, etc. For Vista there is a special high-grade conference hall with 700 seats, a restaurant and several shops. Viva is the difference between a spectacular lighting design of many LEDs that you can fully appreciate in the dark. Outwardly Vista is a cylindrical structure with a few angular extensions. Everything is made of clear glass emerald. Viva reminds some circular space station of the future - is dominated by polished aluminum and the glass again.
Terra, in contrast to the two "big brothers", which are intended for cultural activities, has a water-sports orientation. There are the most different facilities for water sports dispute, maintenance and mooring of yachts, boats and so on. It looks like a cylindrical design of dark yellow-orange color. Terra area - 4164 m2, is, as already mentioned, on two floors.
