Jeonju

Jeonju stretches across a valley surrounded by hills, featuring both modern districts and traditional neighborhoods with preserved Korean architecture and design elements.

The city emerged as a commercial center during the Three Kingdoms period in 57 BCE and later became a crucial administrative hub during the Joseon Dynasty.

The Jeonju Hanok Village contains more than 800 traditional Korean houses, maintaining centuries-old construction techniques and architectural patterns.

The public transportation network includes frequent bus services connecting major districts, while the central areas remain accessible through dedicated pedestrian paths.

Jeonju stores one of four remaining original copies of the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty, documenting five centuries of Korean royal history.
