Aquatic Fountain Show in Busan

I thought I’d seen it all in Busan, especially in Nampo-dong. I had shopped, gone up Busan Tower, been to Lotte Department Store. I was WRONG. A couple of weeks before Ross and I left Korea, we went to Busan and Nampo-dong to look for a suitcase. We met up with our friend Adam in the Aqua Mall section of Lotte Dept Store, and lo and behold was the world’s largest indoor fountain display. We had to wait for about 10 minutes before it started, but it goes every hour during the day on the hour. It was  beautiful! Set to music, the water comes up from the ground and from above, 4 floors up. I was mesmerized the whole time! Ross took a video of the fountain, but apparently deleted it. I’m going to make him find it. But in the meantime, I have a couple of pictures – one with the info, and one of the fountain itself.

I don’t know what was cooler, the timing with the music, or the water falling from the ceiling. At one point, near the end, they manage to make the falling water spell out “Lotte” and “Welcome”. It’s crazy! It’s definitely worth checking out.
