Chonju Travel Forum

Hi,

I would like to visit the Jeonju Hanok village for some cultural experience and would like get some advise.

As I would be flying to Incheon, can I know how to get to Jeonju Hanok village and after that how do I get to the nearest holtel in Jeonju?

Please also advise on the charges and fees.

Thanks.

hello gaku.
to get to jeonju walk out of the doors of the airport after claiming your bag(s) & going through customs.
exchange some money in the airport before you look for the bus.
you want to take a limousine bus. the will be a sign in korean/english that says, jeonju (ÀüÁÖ), go to one of the ticket selling boxes with attendants and purchase your ticket for 22,000 won.
the bus ends in jeonju at the core hotel.
you can take a taxi to jeonju hanok village, about 1km from where the limousine bus drops you off.
i'm not sure about hotels because i live here and have never stayed in one.
look for yogwan (¿©°ü) or maybe better a "love hotel" which are easy to spot cause of all the neon lights. the hotels are generally a good deal w/ western toilet/bed & air-con.
jeonju is a nice city with probably the best food in korea but if ya want a more authentic korean village experience i recommend going to hahoe (near andong) or yangdong (near kyoungju)
kyoungju has some of the most beautiful temple and historical sites in korea.
if you come to jeonju drop me an e-mail.
good luck.
