This past Tuesday, I attended the Seoul Lantern Festival. Since 2009, this festival has been taking place at the Cheonggyecheon Stream in downtown Seoul. It’s amazing to think that all that all these sculptures were created from hanji, traditional Korean handmade paper. Although they were pleasant to look at during the day, their illumination at night breathed new life into these works of art. The stream was a popular destination at night for young and old alike, but especially so for young couples. Despite the large number of people, movement was orderly. speakers set up by the Jongmyo Daeje sculptures emanated traditional Korean music.
