Complete Guide to the Gwangalli Fireworks Show! After watching it, I was instantly amazed, with the best viewing spots + pitfall avoidance tips included

Who knows, family! I camped out at Gwangalli for the fireworks show of a lifetime, so beautiful I screamed until my voice was hoarse, and my phone storage was almost full from taking photos📸 This tried-and-true "Fireworks Viewing Guide" will definitely help you secure the best spot!

📍Lock in early! 3 amazing viewing spots (with pros and cons)

1. Front row on Gwangalli Beach: The classic spot where fireworks explode right overhead, making you feel wrapped in romance! The downside is you need to reserve your spot 2-3 hours in advance. Bring a picnic mat, enjoy snacks with friends while waiting, and immerse yourself in the experience✨

2. Gwangandaegyo Bridge Observation Deck: A unique perspective where you can capture fireworks alongside the bridge lights, creating an amazing atmosphere! However, it’s crowded here and requires climbing some stairs, so comfortable shoes are a must.

3. Nearby high-rise café terrace: The lazy person’s choice! Order a coffee, sit by the window with air conditioning, watch the fireworks without the crowd, and capture stunning night views. Just be sure to call ahead to reserve a spot—if you’re late, you won’t get one☕

🍢Foodies must-see! Food list around the fireworks show

Don’t go hungry before or after the show! These hidden gems are a must-try:

- Spicy stir-fried rice cake skewers by the beach: Hot rice cakes coated in sweet and spicy sauce, super satisfying with every bite, 1000 KRW per skewer, great value.

- Cheese corn from street vendors: Stretchy cheese paired with sweet corn, creamy texture, sweet but not greasy, also very photogenic.

- Seafood army stew at nearby restaurants: Warm up with a pot after the fireworks, fresh seafood, noodles soaked in broth, so good you’ll lick the bowl🍜

⚠️Lessons learned the hard way! Avoid these pitfalls

- Don’t wear white! Crowds can easily dirty your clothes; dark colors are the way to go.

- Bring a power bank! Taking photos of fireworks drains your battery fast; renting on-site is expensive and involves waiting.

- Use public transportation if possible! The area gets super congested during the fireworks show; subway and buses are more reliable.

- Don’t buy too many snacks! There are few trash bins on the beach, and littering harms the environment.

When fireworks bloom over Gwangandaegyo Bridge and the sea breeze carries the scent of fireworks, every moment of waiting is worth it🎇 Save this guide and invite your friends to this romantic feast!
