Water Is Dancing!
The Musical Fountain of Unjeong Lake Park in Paju, Gyeonggi-do, August 18th 2022
A brand new attraction of Paju, but it is already a trend in across South Korea.
As a Paju resident I am so proud of this facinating structure. The Musical Fountain a.k.a. The Singing Fountain is a performancing fountain with colorful light and laser and music.
There are some of the world most largest and famous performancing fountains, for example, The Fountain of Wealth in Singapore and The Dubai Fountain in Dubai, UAE. The one in my city, Paju is a small local verson of those things.
It was the next day of its grand opening when we - me and Alex and Soo - were out to the lake park to see the spectacle. No wonder the park was so crowded with people mostly from Paju, and the atmosphere was delightful.
Paju is a silent and peaceful, small local city. But look at the pictures above. It pretty much looks like a fancy night of a world big city like Bangkok.
This kind of fountain is definitely fancy and can give small local businesses the economic benefit gathering and luring customers. I can tell it became a trend across South Korea, because some local communities, including Paju’s neighbor city Ilsan, Gyeongido, already have their own musical fountains and some local governments have plan to establish it.
If you have a plan to travel Paju, it would be a good idea to add The Music Fountain of Unjeong to your itinerary. Or you can search the closest musical fountain to your place and visit there.
