The Carp Turning into a Dragon statue stands on the Han River bank near the Dragon Bridge — a big marble sculpture of a fish mid-transformation, springing from the water with a dragon's head. It nods to an old East Asian legend about a carp that leaps a waterfall and becomes a dragon, a symbol of persistence rewarded. It's a popular photo stop, especially lit up at night when it pairs with the bridge across the water. Quick to see and free, it's a natural add-on to an evening riverside walk rather than a destination in itself.
