Jeonju: “Slow city”

Jeonju has several historical places to see, the most important of which are Jeonju Hanok village and the Gyeonggijeon shrine.

In a section of small lanes, Jeonju Hanok Village welcomes nearly 800 Korean traditional houses. While the rest of the city has become more industrialized, the Hanok village has maintained its historical charm and customs. It's particularly well-known for its lovely roof curves. It is the country's largest and most intact Hanok settlement.

The image of Monarch Tae-jo, the founder and first king of the Joseon dynasty, may be found in Gyeonggijeon Shrine, which was established in 1410. The King's and his wife's gravestones can be found here. In 1614, the existing structure was remodeled. In addition, pictures of previous monarchs such as Sun-jong, Cheol-jong, Yeong-jo, and others are on exhibit inside Gyeonggijeon.
