Where to go here

Tap a name to run it through search

  1. Jeonju Hanok Village

    전주한옥마을

    Seven hundred hanok houses, where the village itself is the sight.

    Must do

    Hanbok rental shops line the lanes, and wearing one gets you into Gyeonggijeon for free.

  2. Gyeonggijeon Shrine

    경기전

    The shrine holding the portrait of the king who founded Joseon.

    Must do

    It sits in the middle of the village, so you just walk in. The bamboo grove and stone walls are best early, before the crowds.

  3. Gaengnidan-gil

    객리단길

    The old downtown street that young shops moved into.

    Must do

    The mood is nothing like the hanok village. Many places only open in the evening, so go late.

  4. Makgeolli Alley

    막걸리 골목

    Order one kettle of makgeolli and the side dishes keep arriving.

    Must do

    Come with at least one other person. Every additional kettle brings a fresh round of food.

Insider's note

Jeonju is a walking city. Stay inside the hanok village and your commuting disappears; the makgeolli alleys are a ten-minute taxi ride in the evening.
