What to expect

Gwangyang Maehwa (Plum) Village

Seomjin Village, also called Maehwa (Plum) Village, sits along the Seomjingang River near Jirisan Mountain. Famous for its plum orchards, the village transforms each March into a snow-like landscape of blooming plum flowers, while June brings ripe, flavorful plums. The annual Plum Blossom Festival, held every March, draws visitors to enjoy thistranquil destination.

Jeonju Hanok Village

With over 800 traditional hanok houses, it reflects timeless Korean charm. Its rooftops curve gracefully toward the sky, enhancing the aesthetic. Visitors can enjoy foods like bibimbap and tteokgalbi or snacks like Jeonju Choco Pie and cheese chicken BBQ. Renting hanbok makes exploring landmarks like Gyeonggijeon Shrine, Pungnammun Gate, and Omokdae even more memorable.

Review for: Day Tour

It was a great experience to see the plum blossoms for the first time. They were beautiful and worth the long drive. The tour itinerary was just nice as we had adequate time to explore and rest. Bus ride was comfortable and our tour guide Roy was informative and he also gave us recommendations to what we should look out for. Thank you for the plum ice-cream! :)

Review for: Day Tour

This was such a relaxing tour. Roy, our guide/driver gave short briefs about the places before letting us explore on our own. There's enough time to explore the two places and I personally like that we can roam freely. I was able to make my own perfume and still have time to shop and walk around Jeonju Hanok Village. Overall, it was a fun and chill trip.

Review for: Day Tour

Although the journey was long, the plum blossoms were beautiful. Will not see these in home country, so it was worth it. Jeonju Hanok Village was worth the journey too.

Went there on 11th March 2024. It was the first day of the Gwangyang Maehwa festival. The flowers just bloom and it was really pretty~ Then we had lots of time at jeonju to enjoy the jeonju hanok village. The tour guide is very nice introducing many good food there~

Review for: (From Myeongdong Station) Gwangyang Maehwa + Jeonju

A full day to Maehwa Village and Jeonju. A bit tiring if you are travelling with kids, need a lot of walking and climbing. Every 2 hours there is a 10 minute break, which is barely enough to change diapers and buy snack. Tes was our guide and he was very patient and helpful. 3 hours in Jeonju is not enough, you need at least 4 hours here.

Review for: (From Hongik Univ. Station) Gwangyang Maehwa + Jeonju

While the drive from Seoul was long it was definitely worth it. Make sure you dress well for the trip because there is alot of walking up and down hills. The blossom festival wasn't too busy early in the day but after lunch time it became very busy. Getting there early is key. The hanok village was nice and I also toured the palace. The entrance fee was only 3KRW. It shocks me how affordable entrance fees are in Korea compared to the US.
