Light up your night at the Seoul Lantern Festival.
Cool Seoul photo-op alert -- the annual Seoul Lantern Festival kicks off today at Cheonggyecheon in Jongno-gu.
30,000 colored lanterns will float on the water and in the air along the 1.3-kilometer stretch from Cheonggye Plaza to Jongno-3-ga.
The theme of this year's festival? "Seoul of yore," as told through lanterns shaped like traditional landmarks and historical figures from past dynasties.
The theme seems to be a loose one, however, as robots and cartoon characters will also be on display, as well as works from Japan and the Philippines.
The lights will be on from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m. daily. Admission is free.
