Every year you can witness the Lotus Lantern Festival at Korean Buddhist Temples in celebration of Buddha’s Birthday. I recently went to Korea’s most famous spot for this: 🏯 Samgwangsa Temple 🗓️ April 27th - May 15th 📍 77 Choeupcheon-ro 43beon-gil, Busan 💸 free of charge! In Seoul you can see some lanterns at Gwanghwamun Square, Jogyesa Temple and Bongeungsa Temple in May and you can witness the Lotus Lantern Parade on May 11th 7-9:30pm along Jongno Street. Will you be there? 😍💌 #korea #busan #lotuslanternfestival #korean #buddhasbirthday #seoul #lanternfestival #southkorea #travel #koreatrip #koreafestival #pusan
