A GIANT steel float, which will be part of a “floating island” in Seoul boasting offshore entertainment facilities, was launched on the Han River last Saturday.

The structure is part of Viva, one of three artificial islets to be built near the southern end of Banpo Bridge.

Along with two other artificial islets – Vista and Tera – to be launched by the end of April, the cluster of man-made floating islets will be used for conventions, water sports, restaurants, performances and exhibitions.

The project will be completed and open to the public in August.
