Samgwangsa Lantern Festival

At Samgwangsa Temple, thousands of lotus lanterns glow through the night in celebration of Buddha’s Birthday, illuminating the slopes of Baegyangsan Mountain. The festival transforms the darkness into a sea of light, symbolizing the wisdom of Buddha.

Walk up the staircase beneath a tunnel of lanterns and step into a dreamlike world. The soft, shimmering glow surrounds you at every turn. At the top, a breathtaking view unfolds—an endless field of lanterns stretching below, as if even the heaviest thoughts have been gently lit and lifted.
