Cover of Jeonju, a City Guide

Real pages, straight out of the PDF.

The cover and 2 real pages, straight out of the PDF at full sharpness. The rest stays inside the book.

A city explained, not listed.

Joseon named this city its own home ground, and the word is still hanging on the south gate and on the old guest house. Four national treasures inside a short walk, what to eat, and why the bibimbap here has a story nobody can finish.

Every figure was read at an official source. Dates, addresses and travel details carry a mark that points to a numbered entry at the back of the book, with the page we read it on. Where we could not confirm a figure, the book leaves it out rather than guessing.

Every photograph is openly licensed. No image in this book is one we cannot legally print, and the credits are printed with it — including the fact that we cropped to fit the page.

The Korean edition is in the same file. Same book, in Korean, after the edition you bought. When a name matters more than the explanation, you can show the page instead of reading it out.

What is inside

6 chapters, 30 pages, ending with how to get there and how to move around once you have arrived.

01
Joseon began here
Only one fact is needed to make sense of Jeonju: that this city is the ancestral home of the royal house of Joseon. The rest follows from it.
02
Inside Hanok Village — a royal portrait, a church, one signboard
Hanok Village (한옥마을) is not a walled compound but a neighborhood where people live. The village has no gate; you can walk in at any hour. But what is inside keeps its own hours.
03
Outside the village — the gate, the school, the governor’s seat
A lot of people see only the Hanok Village (한옥마을) and go home. Pungnammun (풍남문), Jeonju Hyanggyo (전주향교) and Jeolla Gamyeong (전라감영) are all outside it, and all three are within walking distance. Only Deokjin Park (덕진공원) is farther out.
04
What there is to eat — bibimbap, and what we do not know
Food is the first thing many people think of when Jeonju comes up. What follows is only what we could confirm. Where we could not, the book says so.
05
What kind of city this is — sound, film, and a basin
Jeonju (전주) is not a city of heritage alone. There are a few reasons people still flock here every year.
06
Getting there, getting around
The most useful line in this book sits in this chapter. Read it before you go.

Questions

No. This book explains the city — how it came to look the way it does, what is in which part of it, and what people eat there. It does not tell you which day to do what. If you want the days built around your own dates, that is the itinerary service.

Most of it will not — a wall, a harbour and a thousand years of history do not move. A handful of entries carry opening hours, and those are the ones to check before you set out; the book prints the official page it was read from so you can check it yourself.

Because place names and dishes are worth showing rather than pronouncing. The Korean edition is the same book, so the page you need is in the same place — hand over the phone and point.
