Be amazed at the spectacle of Busan’s famous dancing fountain, which follows a perfectly choreographed routine combining water with music and light.
The Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dream is one of the world’s largest fountains. It takes pride of place on Busan’s beautiful Dadaepo Beach. Experience its watery performances, which are choreographed to music and lights, every evening except Mondays during the warmer months.
The musical fountain rises 180 feet (55 meters) into the air. Join the crowds as they gather to watch the shows, which last for 20 minutes, and experience the fusion of sound, light and water. Watch the show play out against an ocean backdrop and soak up the atmosphere of the crowds on the beach. Seeing the fountain in action is a unique Busan experience that is not to be missed.
Look for the various cultural events that are often held alongside the fountain shows. Traditional dance and music performances, as well as regular festivals, are held on Dadaepo Beach and complement the swirling lights. Be mesmerized by the iridescent blues, red, pinks and greens which illuminate the swaying water shoots.
After the shows, the fountain performs a smaller routine. Take your children for a magical experience and let them dance in the colored fountains. It is the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer’s evening.
The Dadaepo Sunset Fountain of Dream runs between March and November on Dadaepo Beach. There are daytime shows as well as the more spectacular evening show, which can be seen between May and October. Check with your accommodations for the exact times of the shows.
