Jeonju Hanok Village, located in the heart of Jeonju, is one of the must-see destinations when traveling to Korea. It is known as the "Living Museum" of traditional Korean architecture, with more than 800 hanok (timber-roofed houses) preserved intact from the Joseon Dynasty, vividly recreating Korean culture and history.
Peaceful beauty in the middle of bustling Seoul
Located in the center of Jeonju city, located in the South of Korea. In the 9th century, this place was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Goryeo. Later, during the Korean Empire, the wall surrounding the town was demolished and formed the Hanok village as it is today.
When autumn comes, Korea seems to wear a yellow shirt.
This ancient village, over 100 years old, was once used as a defense for the local people to prevent the invasion of hostile forces. Although it was abandoned for a long time, it was not until 1977 that the Korean government officially paid attention to it, restored it, and recognized it as a national monument in need of protection.
Each street of Jeonju Hanok is covered in gold and red by the bright red maple leaves and golden ginkgo leaves.
The Hanok Village - Jeonju Hanok Maeul is recognized by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage. Currently, there are more than 700 traditional houses, most of which are still inhabited but are well preserved and maintained. The biggest difference compared to Daegu or Seoul, Hanok Maeul still retains its peaceful, slow-paced atmosphere, without being mixed with modern lifestyle.

Each season, the ancient village of Jeonju Hanok puts on a new coat, each coat has its own beauty. However, when autumn comes, the transformation of nature here really makes people's hearts flutter. From the sweltering heat of summer, the air suddenly turns cold, signaling the arrival of autumn.
This is also the time of year when Korea welcomes the most tourists because of the weather and scenery in Korea and this time is very beautiful.
Along with the change in temperature, the leaves of the trees also began to change color. First were the bright yellow leaves of the ginkgo trees, then the red maple leaves turned as bright as flames. The whole village seemed to be covered in a brilliant, shimmering carpet of color.
The yellow and red leaves fall and rustle underfoot, creating a romantic autumn symphony. The pale yellow sunlight filters through the foliage and shines on the ancient hanok roofs, creating an unusually peaceful scene. Time seems to stand still here, leaving only the sound of falling leaves and chirping birds.
