What to do and see in Jeonju, Jeollabuk-do: The Best Events
September 9, 2021 Margarita Chappel
Jeonju is a true foodie paradise, so beloved for its cuisine that it’s been deemed by UNESCO as a Creative City for Gastronomy. The best way to enjoy this South Korean city is to eat your way through it, savoring hearty regional specialties like bibimbap and kongnamul gukbap. Once you’re stuffed, hike up to the Omokdae and Imokdae stone monument, or just watch athletes burn calories at the World Cup Stadium.
