The Most Gorgeous Fountains around the Earth

There are lots of beautiful water fountains around the world, from the Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas to the old fountains of Rome. Some fountains are extremely old, however some are new and using the newest in high technology. Here are 5 fountains that millions of people take a trip each year to go see.<br /><br />If you are setting up a vacation, these are some gorgeous spots to add to your list of sites to see.<br /><br /><b>1. Banpo Bridge Fountain, Seoul, South Korea</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcW4nhrUBFatvuamd7y_Et58Tvw2D_MDUmK-2DdDQvGtNzDR868JzuXT8hw48f8RL_Hro02tVhyphenhyphenZgPa2Dp9FPWqJGxnZk7Jz7rg0JPsqeEXSo4oBfICSgToLh0nQbNlpTwaVZAXCl5HdGG/s1600/Banpo-Bridge-Fountain.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcW4nhrUBFatvuamd7y_Et58Tvw2D_MDUmK-2DdDQvGtNzDR868JzuXT8hw48f8RL_Hro02tVhyphenhyphenZgPa2Dp9FPWqJGxnZk7Jz7rg0JPsqeEXSo4oBfICSgToLh0nQbNlpTwaVZAXCl5HdGG/s320/Banpo-Bridge-Fountain.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The Banpo Bridge in Seoul, South Korea presently got a chief facelift in the form of a 10,000-nozzle fountain that runs all the means by a technique along both its sides. They were presently installed last month, but already the bridge has turned into a major tourist attraction. Which is comprehensible, as I’ve definitely never driven over a bridge that’s pumping out 190 tons of water per minute? And since it’s just pulling up water from the river below, it’s nice and eco-friendly. Hit the jump for a video of this awesome bridge in action.<br /><br /><b>2. Swarovski Fountain, Austria</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEvSyH75oyKva8EKEvcKsNMTlmpkI7zCk35UoJ2_h4Rx1c241nXRx6muSGCp8gHQHsk5TqKJ9-d9vS3_H_PQy4Wa-og0WgMHPEvHVORTlWNgnCtHFlDH1IxgRBEnt3vNOvD0t8ZvKdP9R6/s1600/Swarovski+Fountain,+Austria2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEvSyH75oyKva8EKEvcKsNMTlmpkI7zCk35UoJ2_h4Rx1c241nXRx6muSGCp8gHQHsk5TqKJ9-d9vS3_H_PQy4Wa-og0WgMHPEvHVORTlWNgnCtHFlDH1IxgRBEnt3vNOvD0t8ZvKdP9R6/s320/Swarovski+Fountain,+Austria2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />The Swarovski Kristallwelten, or Swarovski Crystal World, seated on Austrian Tyrol appears like a jewel in a ring.<br /><br /><b>3.

The fountain is situated in Grant Park at the middle of a formally laid out garden.<br /><br /><b>4. Scott Fountain, Belle Isle</b><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO9cWRHffuJyaM1G8TmcK6A0oVyI3cWF1EVW1_mO9hBk01iv2tk5uCttm4oit8rTzkLptPS6vRjF5BFH9qKc9DawICDBo0-5wgepTqiSp2evIANwMZ_Z2Pm9a_62hAXZm8gBDeUKJ8tbb9/s1600/Scott+Fountain,+Belle+Isle.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO9cWRHffuJyaM1G8TmcK6A0oVyI3cWF1EVW1_mO9hBk01iv2tk5uCttm4oit8rTzkLptPS6vRjF5BFH9qKc9DawICDBo0-5wgepTqiSp2evIANwMZ_Z2Pm9a_62hAXZm8gBDeUKJ8tbb9/s320/Scott+Fountain,+Belle+Isle.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />Situated on Belle Isle, this stunning fountain is made of Italian white marble and was named for James Scott, who bequeathed the resources for its erection. The fountain is a intricate series of bowls, basins, and spouts, all along with lionesses, turtles, dolphins, Neptune’s, and animal horns with poise spewing streams of water.<br /><b><br /></b><br /><b>5.
