Jinju Lantern Festival

The past two weekends, Blair and I also went to the Jinju Namgang Yudeung (Lantern) Festival. The festival originated during the Japanese invasion of Korea. As a military strategy, Korean soldiers placed many lanterns on the Namgang River to prevent Japanese troops from wading across it. It has since become an annual tradition, and one of the largest lantern festivals in Korea. 

It was truly an amazing festival, my favorite so far.
