What to expect
📍 Jeonju Hanok Village No need for a time machine to travel through time, a trip to Jeonju will do the trick! Jeonju Hanok Village is Korea’s largest traditional hanok village, and the only urban hanok cluster in the country, with 735 hanok houses densely gathered in the city center. Just walking through the alleys under the tiled eaves feels like stepping into a historical Korean drama set.
👘 Hanbok Experience Put on a hanbok and walk into Gyeonggijeon and the hanok alleys; every step is a beautiful photo opportunity. In autumn, ginkgo and maple leaves fill the entire street, creating a scene that is simply ethereal – it’s a perfect spot for Instagram check-ins! There are over a hundred hanbok rental shops in the village, so you can change into your favorite outfit anytime.
🍚 UNESCO-recognized City of Gastronomy Jeonju is not just “the city rumored to be the best at eating”; it was designated by UNESCO in 2012 as a Creative City of Gastronomy, the only one in all of Korea. Authentic Jeonju bibimbap is made with rice cooked in beef bone broth and over 30 ingredients, along with traditional rice cakes, Southern Market snacks, and the Hanok Village night market. You’ll be happy even if you eat until you’re full 😋
🎎 Traditional Culture Exploration The village also has over 20 cultural facilities, including a Hanji Experience Center, a Traditional Liquor Museum, and a Fan Culture Museum, allowing you to create your own Korean memories firsthand.
Reviews
if you are on the fence if you want to take this tour, DO IT! i joined this tour solo in November 2024. Jeonju Hanok village is like Insadong and Suwon but it has its own charm. After Jeonju, Jangtaesan mountain was also very beautiful, lots of sequioa trees which turned brown during autumn. The bridge/walkway was a bit scary for someone who is afraid of heights. one suggestion is for the tour guide to give more information about the places we visit and places we are passing through.... he did gove some info but only very little.
Both destinations are beautiful. Alvin is very fluent in both english and chinese. I wish to have more guidance.
The tour was wonderful. Our driver was very helpful and accommodating. I had a great time with other travellers. Thank you, Klook
The Hanok and Jangtaesan Mountain in autumn are really beautiful. Although you have to get up early and the drive is a bit long, this trip is worth it. I am also very grateful to the tour guide Alvin and the driver who have good language skills. Thank you for your hard work☺️
This is a very enjoyable trip. The bus ride was long but very comfortable. we had a medium bus for 11 of us. we spent about two hours at the hanok village and almost three hours at Jangtaesan. At Jeongju you can visit the Royal Portrait Museum where you can view the portrait of Taejo, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. Jangtaesan’s autumn foliage is simply stunning and we were very fortunate to catch it at the right time. Also compliments to our guide Leah who was very attentive and took good care of us.
We set off on time. The trip was quite busy and the ride took a long time. The round trip took about 8 hours. Jeonju Hanok Village feels average. Jangtaesan Mountain is worth visiting and the scenery is beautiful.
The tour guide is very thoughtful and attentive to our needs. The attractions are great for taking pictures, and we can also try on Hanbok, which is very beautiful.
The itinerary is good and the time is not too rushed. The overall experience is good. The tour leader will inform you the day before. Don’t worry too much. It’s great.
The only drawback is that it takes a long time to pull the cart, but we have good memories. The tour guide is great, he will help negotiate with the merchants, and the time management is also good.
Joe was very nice, and the trip was very enjoyable.
