    In the middle of the industrialized city of Jeonju, Jeonju Hanok Village has managed to retain its quaint charm with over 800 traditional Korean hanok houses. Dubbed the ‘Slow City’ in 2010, Jeonju Hanok Village never fails to delight visitors. What makes the hanoks in Jeonju Hanok Village especially aesthetically pleasing are the unique roof edges that are slightly raised to the sky.

The structure was partially destroyed during the Imjin War (1592-1598), and the existing structure was remodeled in 1614. Inside Gyeonggijeon, the portraits of King Tae-jo and other successive kings such as Sun-jong, Cheol-jong, Yeong-jo, and many others can be found on display. The carriage used to move the mortuary tablets as well as carriages used to transport dignitaries and individual chair-like carriages are also on display.

    Wansan Park is a must-visit place during the cherry blossom season. It’s an amazing view with the bursting of pink and red flowers everywhere. You’ll see locals taking a walk along the park and also picnicking throughout the area. There are some hills in the park, and hiking shoes are not needed for the walk. To get to the park, head south from Nambu Market, cross the overpass and continue to go straight up on Maegok-ro Street which will lead you to a walking path.
