Chuncheondaegyo Bridge (춘천대교)
Chuncheondaegyo Bridge is a bridge that connects downtown and Legoland Theme Park located on Jungdo Island in Uiamho Lake. The bridge won the Grand Prize in the Civil Engineering Structure Awards of the Year during the 2019 Civil Engineering Day celebration. The main tower made with Lego’s circular shape as a motif is impressive. A night view of lights and a pleasant drive make this a popular attraction. Don’t miss the brilliant fountain shows that run 3 times every evening (20:00, 21:00, 22:00) and last about 40 minutes with 12 images of Chuncheon. Meanwhile, it is the filming location for the scene where Kim Tae-ri and Nam Joo-hyuk look at the rainbow in the drama “Twenty-Five Twenty-One (2022).”
