On my quest to explore all of South Korea, I am embarrassed to say Jeonju never made my list at the beginning. It was only mentioned to me by a co-worker when she saw me furiously making a "must-see" list for South Korea. She described it as a part of Korea that hasn't been touched by westernization and showed the charm of Korea's past architecture.
Having an intense love of all things soaking in charm and history, I had to go. I had to see some of Korea's most charming architecture. If you have ever been to Korea, you know first handily that their buildings scream efficiency rather than art and homeliness.
With the golden week this past week, I went!
Jeonju is famous for its food, Hanok village, and beautiful ladies wearing hanbok running around. I decided, why not? I found a hanbok that just called my name, put it on, and ran around taking as many photos as I could.
We were also fortunate enough to go during a time when these beautiful pink flowers were blooming on a mountain top. We took a short hike, and it was stunning.
