When you are in Imsil, you must take the opportunity to visit the Imsil Cheese Theme Park. This theme park houses different play areas like the rolling slide, animal (goat) area, cheese building, playground, etc. You can also try their cheese making courses (e.g. pizza making, mozzarella cheese making, etc.). The view and ambiance are like that of New Zealand. This theme park caters to all ages.

With an entrance fees of 6,000 won for 2 person.
We spent a good 1.5 hours here looking at the different section.
How the kitchen of olden days look like, with a traditional pounder. And a place used to keep the records on daily life of the King.
Royal Portrait museum where we get to see impressive portrait of King Taejo. Painting of Five Peaks with Sun and Moon was beautiful to admire too. So much so that I bought the magnet version of it home.
Historical sites seekers would have to pop in here to see.

This is my first visit to Mount Mai. The literal Chinese translation is Horse Ear Mount. The reason is that this park is located between two hills that appeared to be like the horse ears. We hired a jumbo taxi for the day for KRW 200,000 to take us from Jeonju to Daedunsan (cloud bridge) and then to Geumsan Ginseng Market & Mount Mai was our last place of visit. We arrived at the southern car park. Car Entrance fee is KRW 2,000 and park entrance fee is KRW 3,000. Once you enter, you have the shire building on the left. As you continue on you will walk pass many eatery placed where in one of the stall you could sample preserved melons & Kim chi. As you continue to walk on the pathway, you will come to a beautiful lake on your left. Keep walking and you will be able to see interesting piled stones on your right. As you continue on you will finally reached the northern car park & the temple. Here you will be able to take a picture of the temple in between the two ear liked mountain. This is a easy way to see Mount Mai. For those hikers, there is another route which I was told you could hike up the Mountains which might take a couple of hours which we did not do due to time constraint. However we did walk around the temple area and then take a slow walk back to the southern car park. We decided to have dinner there at one of the stalls on our way out. We managed to try BBQ black pork ribs & neck. They are delicious. We also tried delicious sizzling cooked fresh deodeok (codonopsis lanceolata). This is the only place we could find this dish being served. So if you visit Mount Mai, I would recommend you have a meal here & try this dish. The small serve of this dish costs KRW 15,000. The large one is KRW 20,000.

I did the weekend templestay program. But the temple is open everyday for regular visitors.
The program was really well organised and foreigner-friendly. By that I mean there was a special assistant who was by our side the entire weekend translating korean to English to make sure we didn't miss out on a single activity or talk with monks.
Food, vegetarian of course, is honestly one of the best korean foods I've had.

I stopped by after seeing a lot of people in front of it taking pictures in traditional clothing. The side door was opened, so I took a look inside. It was nice, but nothing spectacular. I sat in the pews for a few minutes and was surprised they had pillows for kneeling. It's a good place to have a few minutes of silence.

The Byeonsanbando National Park was wide park and devided some district. There had mountain, sea, temple and various attraction. I and my wife visited Naesosa Temple area, there had temple and path with beautiful view and fresh air. I wanted to look around all district, but I didn't had much time. There was good national park.

The town is surrounded by a river. You can see old fashioned houses built hundreds years ago. It’s amazing to see still a few residents are in the village.
Clean restrooms and free shuttles are user friendly. There is a small exhibition displaying many kinds of mask. They even offer lessons good for teens and children.

Omokdae and Imokdae are located within a stone's throw away from the Hanok village. Just a short climb of stairs will get you to Omokdae first, which offers a stunning view of Jeonju's hanok village. We also stumbled by a 100-year old cafe at the foot of Omokdae! Very impressed with the history of the city here.

You will definitely pass by Pungnammun when you are walking from the Hanok Village/Jeondong Catholic Church to Nambu Market. It offers a different view in the day and night. In the day it looks traditional, and at night it's lit up and looks really beautiful!

A short walk from the Jeonju Hanok Village. It is pretty and serene inside this ancient education institution. This was the national education centre during the Joseon dynasty and was moved to the existing location since 1603. The giant ginko tree is the witness of these 400 years of history. It's worth the visit.
