North of the Han River, at the Cheongyecheon, there is the
2011 Seoul Lantern Festival taking place through the weekend. Every night from

gate are just some of the beautiful array of lights reflecting of the water.
We headed north to fight the crowds (isn’t it crowded
everywhere in this city?) and get our glimpse of these festive fixtures. Here’s
some of what we saw:
