Understand

Get in

Take the KTX to Iksan, and then you can take a bus or taxi from there. This is the fastest but most expensive option, taking about 2 hours from Seoul. Express buses are available for as little as 8,000W and take 3 hours and 20 minutes.

From the airport, there are Limousine buses that run every halfhour that will take you near city hall in Jeonju.

Get around

There's an excellent public bus system that costs 900W. Meter drop for taxis is 1,800W. From the Shui (intercity) Bus Terminal, you can catch buses to the local mountains, as well as other cities throughout Korea.

See

• Traditional Korean Wine Museum (전통술 박물관), [1].
• The Gaeksa building, located in the city centre, date from around 1471 and were used used to accomodate important visitors. Rituals to honour the king were also held here. It's a meeting place for many as well as a hangout location for many old men. The downtown area sourrounding is also referred to as Gaeksa. To get downtown most people will simply tell the taxi driver to take them to Gaeksa
• The Hansol Paper Museum records the history of paper making and usages since the age of the Egyptians. There is an interesting movie shown in English upon request. Most of the signs are in korean only, but I found the museum quite interesting. There are some displays on traditional Korean paper making. You also have a chance to make a piece of paper there as well. On weekends and holidays, there are various workshops available.

• Jeonju Bibimap - one of the most famous Korean dishes, with Jeonju being the most famous in Korea. It consists of rice with mixed vegetables, fried egg, seaweed (gim), and hot pepper paste (gochujang). It is also available in a hot stone bowl (dol sot). Also give Mountain Vegetable Bibimbap (San Chae) a taste, if you're at any of the local mountains.

Drink

Probably the best area for night life is outside of Jeonbuk Dae Hakyo. The large national university in Jeonju. There are hundreds of bars and restaurants, you're sure to find something that you like there.
