Korea's Most BREATHTAKING Lantern Festival - Samgwangsa, Busan 삼광사

In todays Busan Travel vlog, we visited Korea's most breathtaking lantern festival at Samgwangsa 삼광사 and it was EPIC ! I've been to many lantern festivals in the past, but this one BY FAR was THE MOST AMAZING lantern festival that I have ever been to. Experiencing a lantern festival inside of a beautiful and huge temple just felt totally surreal. So if you are visiting Busan and are looking for things to do, then I would 100% recommend coming to check out this lantern festival! I had such an amazing time here!!

The temple itself, Samgwangsa, was such a beautiful temple and is located really close to Seomyeon! If you visit Busan, even after this lantern festival has finished, I would still recommend visiting Samgwangsa, especially if you're ever close to Seomyeon ( downtown Busan ).

This lantern festival happens every year during Buddhas birthday! It's completely free to attend, and if you enjoy experiencing Korean culture, then you would have a fantastic time here at the lantern festival. Buddhas birthday follows the lunar calendar, so the date will change from year to year, however it generally happens sometime during the month of May. The lantern festival goes on for around 2 weeks or so, and the lanterns will turn on from 7 PM to 1 AM daily. Samgwangsa temple is open 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.

This was my first time experiencing this lantern festival and it's now become one of my favorite events to attend. Living in Busan has been amazing, and it continues to keep getting better and better.

As a foreigner, I can understand the difficulties of getting around in Korea, so I'll continue to share my experiences of living here in Busan, so that you all can better discover this beautiful country.

I can't wait and I'm already looking forward to next year when we get to experience this lantern festival again at Samgwangsa.
