Dolseok and I love to find new things to do in Korea. This is our date&travel-log. Hope this serves as a helpful guide to those staying or traveling in Korea as well.

Lotus Lantern Festival at Cheonggye-cheon

May 21st was the Buddha's Birthday. It is a national holiday along with Christmas. The Buddhists celebrate it by hanging colorful lanterns along the streets or around the temples. Dolseok and I remembered that Cheonggye-cheon hosts a nice lantern festival so we strolled along from Dongdaemun to City center.
The lanterns look like a scene from the movie Forbidden Quest.
