Jeonju, a Wonderful Place to Visit .

September 20, 2012 by dapiyuna

If you consider visiting Korea on a trip, you should pay attention to Jeonju.  This remarkable city appeals to you for visiting in many ways: how to get there, where to stay, what to eat, and what to see.  First, the easiest way to get there is a train ride, and it takes 3 hours from Seoul to Jeonju.  Using various public transportations in a foreign country is a good way to learn their culture.  In Korea, people like to eat boiled eggs with soft drinks in the train. If you ride in the train, you should try this kind of old-fashioned snack combination.  It will be yummy!  Next, if you really want to experience and to learn a traditional Korean house, which is called ‘Hanok’, I highly recommend checking a guest house in Jeonju Hanok village.  Many people think that Korean-style houses are uncomfortable, but actually it is not!  Nowadays, most of the guest houses renovate rooms, so these are as tidy and convenient as a hotel.  Although they were renovated, they still maintain a structure of the house and a traditional way to live, so you can experience Hanok in comfort.  Also, many guest houses offer traditional tea and snacks like a high tea. You can take a rest with the tea and nice scenery, and also you can learn how to make the tea and how to serve it in a traditional Korean tea manner and spirit.  After choosing where you are going to stay, then you need to eat something!  Jeonju is famous for Korean dishes.  For example, Jeonju Bibimbap is a famous dish in Korea.  There are different kinds of Bibimbap according to ingredients, and Jeonju style that is white rice with stirred fried vegetables and meat, gochujang which is Korean spicy sauce, and a raw or fried egg on the middle and usually is served as hot or warm bowl is the most famous and common style of Bibimbap in the world. 

Finally, Jeonju is full of tourist attractions such as ‘Gyeonggi Palace’ and ‘Hyanggyo’ which are cultural heritage.  Also, Jeonju has a lot of festivals and modern art galleries.  In particular, the Jeonju international film festival is one of the big film festivals in Korea.  Even if your trip is not at the same time as the festival, you can just enjoy the film street, in which there are many movie theaters and movie studios, in the city.  Mayby Jeonju is unfamiliar to you, but I’m sure that this city can satisfy you in many ways: traditional houses, food, heritage, and also modern culture.  If you want to find more information, you can visit English web-site.
