Diverse Ways to Spend a Good Time in Hangang (River) This August, Seoul Metropolitan Hangang Project Headquaters will hold fireworks shows near Banpo Bridge and offer a 30% discount on fares for pleasure boats (not those for fireworks show) to users of the riverside campsite as part of the Hangang Haengbok Mongttang (Great Happiness) Program.

The fireworks shows will be held every Saturday in August (except August 31). Each show will last for ten minutes, and it will be preceded by the Banpo Rainbow Water Fountain Show (for 10 minutes from 8:00 PM).

During the program period (until August 20), riverside campsite users can enjoy a variety of water leisure sports and have the privilege of a 30% discount on fares for pleasure boats operating in the afternoon (those starting from Yeouido Ferry between 11:00 AM to 6:00 PM/※ excluding the lunch buffet pleasure boat).

You have two choices for the fireworks show: on a pleasure boat that will take you quite close to the site, or on the riverside place in Banpo.
