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.

드라이브 코스로 방문하기 좋습니다. 경치가 아주 멋있으며, 외관은 잘 꾸며놨지만 안에 인테리어는 개인적으로 살짝 촌스럽다는 느낌이 있습니다. 위치가 외곽이다보니 음료값이 많이 비싼편입니다.(아이스는 1000원+) 근데 음료 퀄리티가 좋은것도 아닙니다. 갤러리카페 답게 한 쪽에는 작은 전시를 하고 있었는데, 방문했을 당시 전시가 인상적이어서 마음에 들었습니다.

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.
6. Omokdae and Imokdae

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.

Though this wasn't one of the most interesting museums, I liked seeing the portraits of the past kings and learning about the Korean Annals kept in Jeonju. The little figurines were also cool to see.
