Lights of Cheonggyecheon

Lights of Cheonggyecheon, which first brightened Seoul's winter nights in 2015, marks its twelfth winter this year, unfolding at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul for 21 days from December 11 to 31. Under this year's theme, "Light Up Tomorrow," the festival is presented anew as a storytelling celebration that speaks of citizens' dreams and hopes through light. Alongside the distinctive themed trees, photo zones, and Dream Light Train (a miniature train) rides that have been loved every year, this edition screens on a giant electronic billboard videos of dream paintings drawn by child artists with developmental disabilities and dream messages sent in by citizens. The festival lights up Cheonggye Plaza from 6 to 10 every evening, and anyone can enjoy it free of charge.
