At Jeonju Hanok Village, you can get to know authentic Korean architecture by observing some of nearly 800 traditional hanok houses. The landmark of the village is a 15th-century shrine housing the portrait of King Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. Other notable structures include a Confucian school, a majestic gate that once allowed entry into a castle, and a pavilion offering priceless views of the surrounding area. Don't leave before tasting bibimbap (mixed rice), the signature regional dish.

Truly nothing special and very commercial. Lots of people in traditional dress which was great to see, but apart from the excellent old part, you could be anywhere.

This is the best traditional Korean village that I've visited thus far. The active shops, urban art sculptures and well paved roads really make the village a 21st century walkable street seamlessly engaged with the cultural identity. People walking in rental costumes add to the atmosphere, even the cheeky cross dressers. 🤭

Great place! I'd recommend staying a night in a hanok to get the full experience. 24 hours here is more than enough. Go out for an early morning stroll if you can. Nobody out there and you can enjoy all of its beauty!
