Jeonju - Must-go place if you are looking for a Korean thing... Part 2
: So far Jeonju just reminded me of Bibambap(A kind of meal, rice mixed with vegetables and so on), but there is the Old Town in Jeonju. As you know, Korean buildings are made of wood which is the reason why we don't have many Hanoks(Korean house) due to wars.....
1 | Old Town |
As you know when you traveled in EU, each city there has an so-called 'old town' and new town. Yes, you can see that in Jeonju here...
Location
Jeonju at night. I got there around 8 pm.. Less people.... It's the gate of the castle.
And here, I could see an alter for Sewol Ferry Disaster even 2 years later...
As you see there are many Korean things as below...
And a view from a pavilion which I found wandering around....
2 | Seonbi and Seongrihak |
: Traditions, good and bad altogether. Seongrihak was started from a good intention.. but it was used for ruling people. And the respect for seniors.. parents... went to far. You are going to hear of it... from a tour guide....
And the modern catholic church was there.
And the gate of the castle... It was a big town in Chosun dynasty.
