PLANNING TO VISIT JEONBUK?

Jeonbuk is the heart of this blog. Here’s the short version of what to know:

  • Jeonju is 2 hours from Seoul by KTX — easy for a weekend trip
  • The Hanok Village is genuinely worth 2 nights, not just a day trip
  • The food scene alone justifies the trip (Korea’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy)
  • Autumn is the best time to visit for Naejangsan’s famous fall foliage
  • A Jeonbuk Tour Pass covers most major attractions at a discount
