the banpo bridge

i was watching " korea sparkling " and i was facinated by " the banpo bridge " in seoul.at first , i thought that was rebuilt as there is the idea of " fountain bridge" but the fountain was just added.in fact , i was not only facinated by the beauty of the colorful fountain in night or " the water dancing" but also the idea of " adding fountain " is like you have an old fourniture and you will add a simple touch and get a masterpiece , the concept of handcraft " simple idea and have new piece" . so, i have made a research and found an article from " interior design and arcitecture website "that gives informations about the bridge :

"" Just a twist of design, a splattering of paint, a cheeky addition to something old can make it look brightly cheerful and attractive to the eyes again. The Banpo Bridge which crosses over the Han River in the Seoul capital of Korea has been given new life with the addition of a very interesting fountain, that was specially designed to attract more tourists. Instead of remodeling this huge structure to fit it with the usual design of a fountain, even that has been give some change,with the fountain shooting water downwards instead of up. The fountains at the Banpo Bridge were installed on September ninth and have since become a major tourist attraction. It has nearly 10 thousand nozzles ( more exactly 9, 380 ) on either side of the bridge that shoots out 190 tons of water every minute. According to the Seoul mayor, Oh Se-Hoon, the fountain bridge would help acknowledge Seoul as an eco-friendly destination amassing more tourists. But unless the fountain is being used as a means of harnessing energy, the eco-friendliness of this fountain is skeptical.""

this is the video that shows the " banpo bridge ".
