Thanks to its location under the Gwangjingyo Bridge in Hangang Park (Gwangnaru area), Gwangjingyo 8th Avenue affords a scenic view of the river as seen from its glass observatory. Live performances are held on Friday or weekend nights; applications can be made online and a few winners are chosen at random to watch each performance.
