Wow – all that colour and light – almost overwhelming. I think my favourite would be the lantern tunnel and the floating lanterns. I love the history and tradition of these festivals.

I miss lantern festivals. My favorite picture of yours is the one with the winged horses. Do you know if the lanterns at Jinju are reused year after year or do they introduce new ones annually? I can almost smell that roasting pig and know that I’d be lining up to get some.

Wow! The festival looks amazing! Those lanterns are so detailed and colorful. SO great the people who defended the city are celebrated. I would like to try the roasted pork and compare to the one prepared in Puerto Rico.

Catching a shuttle sounds like a terrific way to get to and from the Lantern Festival which looks like an absolutely spectacular celebration! Your night time photos are beautiful and you must have had a lot of fun deciding what to take the next picture of. And you’re right – Christ the Redeemer does look a bit out of place amongst the Chollima, dragons and Janseung! Maybe a little more color? 🙂

There are so many things I love about this lantern festival. Love all the colors and the uniqueness here. I would travel 4-5 hours too to see this festival. How cool is that lantern tunnel and such a great background story on those flying horses.
