Introduction

Jeonju Hanok Village is Korea's most famous and largest traditional hanok village, a settlement of rustic hanok, traditional culture and food—Jeonju's top sight. In central Jeonju, it is the country's most famous, largest and most vibrant traditional hanok village, the heart of this traditional-culture city. Jeonju is an ancient city with deep roots (also the ancestral seat of the Joseon royal family); this village preserves hundreds of rustic, elegant traditional hanok—among Korea's most concentrated and spectacular. Wandering its quiet streets, you see rows of elegant hanok with gently upturned black-tiled roofs, wooden structures and walls spreading grandly—preserving Joseon-era homes. Its unique charm is that it is a living village: traditional culture experiences (hanbok rental, craft workshops, hanji paper, tea houses, hanok stays), shops, cafés, restaurants and street food (Jeonju is famous for bibimbap). Wear a hanbok, stroll, experience culture and taste local food (bibimbap and snacks). (Partly residential: keep quiet, no noise, no entering homes, respect residents.)
