Now Floating island open in Seoul



The world’s largest-- artificial floating island has finished its first week as a major new tourism attraction in Seoul, South Korea.
Seoul‘s Han River will eventually be home to a floating archipelago of three man-made “islets”, but the first island, Viva, opened to the public- last week.
At 3,271 square meters, it is the second-largest of the three and is home to a three-storey structure housing a 700-seat convention hall and several other attractions such as restaurants and video-- games.
There- are parks, outdoor terraces and viewing points surrounding the center, while at night, the exterior of the building is illuminated with brightly- colored light shows.
