If you are planning for a winter trip to Korea this year, you might want to consider The Garden of Morning Calm for its Lighting Festival. This festival will only for 3 months annually, so when I confirmed my trip to Korea last year…. I had to visit here!

Its takes quite a long journey to travel down, I remembered buying drinks to keep myself warm in the subway while heading over :p I’m very thankful that in Korea, we get to drink on the subway, and surprisingly, there’s no litter around. Sometimes I wish, my country have more civilise people who love their country more.

#We arrived around 4 plus to withness the “start” of the lighting festival.

#snowy landscape. Let it go~~~

#Its so pretty~ All worth the journey for this!

#After the lighting festival, we headed over to Jaksal for our favourite peanut chicken! Thanks Mavis & BF for the treat too!
