JINJU LATERN FESTIVAL
The Jinju Lantern Festival happens for two weeks in October.
The river that runs through Jinju was dotted with hundreds
of lanterns.
They had a variety of festival foods.

There are literally thousands of lanterns at the festival of
all kinds. They had life size lanterns of people and bigger-than-life-size lantern
flotillas depicting ancient and mythological events.




They also had spanning archways lined with hundreds and hundreds of red-glowing shoebox sized lanterns.


And of course the best views are at night.
