The fountain installed at Banpo Bridge in Seoul has been recognized as the world's longest bridge fountain in the Guinness Book of Records.
The Guinness World Records certified the 1,140-meter-long fountain as the longest bridge fountain in the world last month, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Sunday.
The fountain runs 570 meters on each side of Banpo Bridge. A total of 380 nozzles spout 190 tons of water per minute some 20 meters out from the bridge and into the Han River, using the water from the river below.
``As the fountain is listed as a record, the city can use the Guinness logo or other Guinness-related signs to promote it. We expect the world-recognized bridge to become a hot tourist spot,'' a city official said.
The fountain will start full operation next spring.
The city also decided to name the fountain ``Rainbow Fountain'' after collecting public and expert opinions from September.
``We decided on the name because a rainbow has a bright and hopeful image both in Eastern and Western countries and the colorful lighting on the bridge gives the impression of a rainbow,'' the official said.
About 200 lights illuminate the bridge in a kaleidoscope of colors.
