Winter Lights Brighten Up Downtown Seoul

Snowflake lights have been installed along the streets of downtown Seoul to mark the winter season.

Some 373 trees have been adorned with lights on a two-km route from Gwanghwamun to Namdaemun and Sejong-ro.

The snowflakes are accompanied by lights in the shape of wine glasses. Made of LEDs, they change into seven different colors.

They have been lighting up the city center every evening from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. since Dec. 17 and will remain up until Feb. 13.
