The City of Hanok and Korean Flavours In Jeonju

If you want to experience the traditional soul of Korea, you must visit Jeonju. It is an easy day trip from Seoul by bus or train and is perfect for travellers who want to enjoy a slower pace and experience authentic Korean traditions. This city is famous for two things: its beautifully preserved Hanok Village and its incredible food. The Jeonju Hanok Village has over 800 traditional Korean houses, many of which are now guesthouses, teahouses, and craft shops. It is the perfect place to slow down and experience old Korea. You can even rent a Hanbok – a traditional dress to wear while you explore. Stroll the village streets, take photos, and enjoy the unique experience.

Jeonju is also famous as the birthplace of bibimbap, one of the most popular dishes in Korea. You can find some of the best and most authentic bibimbap in the country right here. The relaxed pace and focus on tradition offer a wonderful contrast to the fast-paced modern cities, offering an authentic taste of Korean culture.

Jeonju is also rich in history and culture. You can visit places like Deokjin Park, known for its lotus flowers in July, or explore temples, ancient palaces, and the Jeonju Hyanggyo Confucian School, where you can take part in traditional ceremonies. The Jeonju Hanji Museum is great for learning about Korean paper-making, and the Jeonju Zoo is fun for families.

Each year, many visitors travel to Jeonju to enjoy the film festival. For those who love adventure - Jeonju offers hiking, biking, and camping options, with nearby national parks and forests. 

Jeonju is still traditional, so it is best to dress modestly and be polite. It is an ideal destination to enjoy the heritage, food, and peaceful atmosphere - a perfect break from busy city life.
