THE EXPERIENCE
Seoul’s Best Sunday on the Han River
Every Sunday this autumn, Jamsu Bridge — the low bridge just above the water under Banpo Bridge — closes to cars and becomes a riverside festival with food trucks, street performances, handmade goods, play areas and silent DJ parties.
After dark, Banpo Bridge above you turns into the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain — registered by Guinness in 2008 as the world’s longest bridge fountain, with water dancing to music along 1,140 m of the bridge.
This is the last autumn of Car-Free Jamsugyo in its current form — don’t miss Oct 25.
