Jeonju itineraries
One Full Day in Hanok Village
The classic loop: start at Gyeonggijeon, finish at the Nambu night market. Everything is on foot, and bibimbap, hanji paper and the Omokdae sunset all fit in one day.
Hanok Night, Old Downtown Morning
Day one is the quiet south end of the village and the Jeonju stream, with a gamaek beer bar at night. Day two starts with bean-sprout soup and moves to the old government seat, the guesthouse and Gaek-ridan-gil. Half a step off the tourist track.
North Jeonju, Wanju & Gimje
Hanok Village gets only the third morning. Instead you cover Deokjin Park, the Palbok factory-turned-gallery, Geumsansa's three-story hall, two Wanju temples and an arboretum, all by car. For people coming back to Jeonju.
