Lunch will be enjoyed on the mountain, and travel time will be minimized.
There is a record of the Lantern Festival being held in 866 during the Silla Dynasty, and it was actively conducted during the Goryeo Dynasty, a Buddhist state.
The meaning of offering lamps symbolizes illuminating the dark world of suffering and ignorance with the wisdom of the Buddha.
However, regardless of religion, we hope that we can all simply enjoy it together as a festival.
