Mapo Bridge

I spent a lot of time here today. I live on Mapo-daero, which is very close. This bridge is not too long and can be crossed on foot. A very high handrail was installed to prevent people from jumping into the river... There are many encouraging words on it, which is good.

Mapo Bridge in Seoul connects Yonggang-dong in Mapo-gu and Yeouido-dong in Yeongdeungpo-gu. Mapo Bridge is 1,400 meters long, 25 meters wide and has 6 lanes. It is the fourth bridge built on the Han River and is said to be a suicide destination.

Mapo Bridge is located between Yeongsan and Mapo-gu, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Seoul. It is the widest bridge among the bridges placed on the Han River. It connects Gongdeok Station and the center of Seoul in Yeouido, and there is a lot of space for walking. There is a traffic light on the Yeouido side.

The cross-river bridge connecting the two sides of Yeouido and the Han River is very wide, making it convenient for office workers on both sides to go to work in the city center. On one side of the two sides is Seoul Forest and on the other side is Gangnam to Cheongdam-dong, which is the so-called wealthy area. Generally, the properties of business tycoons and celebrities are located in those high-rise buildings.

This is a place I like very much, a very warm bridge! Why do many people remember that this is the bridge with the most suicides in South Korea? Why don't they continue to listen to the story of this bridge? Because the suicide rate on the bridge is very high, the government installed comforting words on the fence of the bridge! The moment you walk onto the bridge, the LED lights will light up every few steps to illuminate the words on the fence, just like a warm person talking to you! Always encouraging you and comforting you! They are all very heartwarming words. I remember the first time I watched the fireworks with my bestie and walked from Mapo Bridge to the subway station opposite. I was moved to tears when I saw these warm sentences along the way! Very heartwarming! Worth recommending
