Jeonju is a true foodie paradise, so beloved for its cuisine that it’s been deemed by UNESCO as a Creative City for Gastronomy.

Once you’re stuffed, hike up to the Omokdae and Imokdae stone monument, or just watch athletes burn calories at the World Cup Stadium.

Our tour guide was incredible. We really enjoyed learning and visiting this part of Korea. It was eye opening and a day I will never forget. Getting to go in the tunnel was exhilarating and definitely an amazing experience. The lunch was delicious and our tour guide even helped us make some phone calls to attend a video game competition.
