"From the next year it is expected that Busan citizens' eyes as well as those of Busan visitors will stick to the unforgettable night laser beam shows at Gwangalli beach," a Busan Metropolitan city official said. Busan plans to equip the bridge with a magnificent night lightning extravaganza, performing with laser beams and night video shows so as to attract domestic and foreign tourists. According to a study, this suspension bridge has great potential as a global attraction if the project is executed.
From the second day of this month, Busan Metropolitan city will take a step towards this illumination project with designated construction and design companies as major installers after bidding for the project.
An official said, "Half of the cost of the project, totalling 4 billion won has already been guaranteed, and the rest will be supported in the fall quarter of this year." The ground breaking will occur in the latter half of this year, and citizens can witness the gorgeous night lightning shows from the latter half of the next year.
An even more significant point is that every night, lightning shows around the Gwangan suspension bridge will be one of the most fantastic laser beam and animation illumination shows to utilize a water-screen. To become a laser-beam-show mecca, attracting domestic and foreign tourists, Busan will also add audio facilities to the illumination system if necessary.
