Jeonju Hanok Heritage Village

If you decide to stop by Jeonju, the Jeonju Hanok Heritage Village is a must see destination. The village has a good layout and is easy to navigate. There are many restaurants and souvenir shops. On a good day, you can easily spend the whole day here. If it fancies you, you can rent traditional Korean clothes (hanbok) here and take some Intagram-worthy pictures.

Gyeonggijeon Shrine

The Gyeonggijeon Shrine is a palace that houses a replica portrait for Yi Seong-gye, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. It is located inside the Jeonju Hanok Heritage Village and was built in 1410 and later reconstructed in 1614. We did not find the idea very interesting and didn't go inside.

Jeondong Catholic Church

The Jeondong Catholic Church stands out among other traditional Korean buildings. The red-brick church was built by a French missionary, Xavier Baudounet. It was built to commemorate Korean Catholic martyrs who died between 1781 and 1801. It is closed to public except during mass.
