What's inside

The fountain uses 38 water pumps and 380 nozzles, together with speakers, lights and projectors. Each water and light show lasts 20 minutes and runs only in good weather; projectors can display images on the falling water, and the music mixes popular South Korean and international songs, with the set list published online. Beneath the bridge, the pedestrian Jamsu Bridge is 795 metres long and 18 metres wide; it lies close to the waterline and is designed to go under water when the river rises after heavy rain.
