Showcasing 100,000 lanterns of all colors, shapes and sizes.
Such a variety of lanterns are to be seen, all in brilliant and luminous hues. Some take inspiration from Buddha himself, while others are derived from mystical figures synonymous to the belief, including Sachonwang, the Four Divine Guardians, dragons and great white elephants. Others resemble butterflies, ladybugs, golden bats and salamanders.
Yondung Nori, refers to the name of the lantern parade that marches in front Chogye-sa Temple.
