Dinner was buffet style and included all different types of Korean speciality from sushi roll to sea food to traditional beef and chicken entrees.

 

Just as we were finishing dinner we arrived at the Banpo Bridge.

Banpodaegyo (Banpo Bridge) is a two-tiered bridge over the Han River that features the Moonlight Rainbow Fountain, the world’s longest bridge fountain recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records, with 380 water jets and a dazzling array of multi-colored lights.  The Moonlight Rainbow Fountain’s water jets are dynamic and can move in time to music creating spectacular ever-changing displays.

 

Nightly views along the Han River were amazing. Seoul definitely comes alive at night.
