Seoul Lantern Festival

Every November, along the Cheonggyecheon Stream, the Seoul Lantern Festival lights up thousands of colourful lanterns depicting various historical figures, traditional folklores or modern arts which represent its yearly changing themes. People can walk alongside the stream while enjoying these glowing pieces or even make their own lanterns themselves. It not only celebrates light and creativity but also nurtures community spirit as well as cultural pride.
