#koreatrip #jeonju #jeonjuhanok Visiting Gyeonggijeon in Jeonju on a gloomy day felt like stepping back in time. The overcast skies added a serene and mysterious charm to this historic site, making it the perfect backdrop for wearing a hanbok and immersing ourselves in Korea’s rich past.

Walking through the tall pine trees and traditional gates in our hanbok, we felt as though we had traveled back to the Joseon era. The solemnity of the shrine and the beauty of the surrounding traditional architecture made the visit unforgettable. Despite the gray skies, the cultural depth and historical significance of Gyeonggijeon shone brightly, leaving us deeply moved.

🌟Address: 44 Taejo-ro, Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si, Jeollabuk-do 🌟Admission Fee Adults 3,000 won Teenagers/College Students/Military 2,000 won 🌟Review Jeonju Gyeonggijeon is a place where the portrait of King Taejo of Joseon Dynasty, Lee Seong-gye, is enshrined. Originally, Gyeonggijeon was much larger, but during the Japanese colonial period, the western site of Gyeonggijeon and its auxiliary buildings were demolished to build a Japanese elementary school, and about half of it was cut off. However, the interior of Gyeonggijeon was very spacious. Gyeonggijeon, with its beautiful architecture and beautiful grass and flowers, is a place that goes well with hanbok. 🌳🌺 There are many hanbok rental shops around Gyeonggijeon, so I recommend experiencing hanbok!!👍🏻 #JeonjuTravel #Jeonju #Gyeonggijeon #JeonjuGyeonggijeon #Hanbok #MemoryTravel #TravelSickness #GoodAtmosphere #TravelCourseRecommendation

#cityplaybook #familytrip #localguides #cityplaybook #postandearn If you want to truly feel the essence of Korean tradition, Jeonju is the place. This charming city blends history, food, art, and architecture in a way that feels both timeless and alive. I came to Jeonju for a weekend and left with memories that felt like stepping into a living painting. The heart of the experience? Jeonju Hanok Village. With over 700 traditional Korean houses (hanok), the village is a gorgeous maze of sloping tiled roofs, quiet alleys, and wooden guesthouses. I stayed in a hanok for the full experience—sleeping on a heated ondol floor, sipping tea in a private courtyard, and wearing a hanbok to wander the village like a character from a historical drama. Jeonju isn’t just beautiful—it’s the food capital of Korea. This is the birthplace of bibimbap, and no place does it better. I had mine in a rustic restaurant with brassware dishes and handmade gochujang that gave it a rich, smoky kick. The Jeonju Nambu Market is also a food lover’s dream—try the choco pies, mung bean pancakes, and makgeolli (rice wine) tastings. For culture lovers, the Gyeonggijeon Shrine, which houses the portrait of King Taejo (founder of the Joseon Dynasty), is serene and steeped in history. The nearby Jeonju Crafts Exhibition Hall showcases pottery, calligraphy, and traditional Korean paper art. You can even join a short class to make your own souvenir! Evenings in Jeonju are magical. Lanterns light the hanok alleys, and street performers fill the air with soft music. It’s not loud or flashy—just soulful, nostalgic, and beautiful. Best Time to Visit Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November) – Great weather, perfect for hanbok photos, and festival season. Helpful Tips Rent a hanbok and walk around the Hanok Village—many shops offer discounts if you’re dressed up. Book your hanok stay in advance during weekends. Try the night food market at Nambu Market for unique Korean street eats.
