The Cultural City Jeonju
The culturally abundant city of Jeonju can be found in the middle of the Korean peninsula. This historical city is full of many treasures including a Traditional Korean village and Culture Gems. Aside from village and culture gems, there are many other great places to visit, such as the Pan Asia Paper Museum, Jeonju World Cup Stadium, and Deokjin Park, to mention a few.
Perhaps the most well known aspect of Jeonju is the food. One of Korea's most famous foods originates from this area, Jeonju bibimbap. This delicious dish combines bean sprouts, Chinese bellflowers, spinach, dropwort, mushrooms, beef and other scrumptious foods with sesame oil, red pepper paste and other nutritious seasonings. A bean sprout soup mixed with rice is also a favorite dish of this area. Jeonju is also known for its variety of side dishes served, usually around 10 on a table.
The spirit of Jeonju can be found in its lively festivals. Some of these festivals include the Jeonju International Film Festival, Jeonju Daesaseupnori, Jeonju Sori Music Festival, World Calligraphy Biennale of Chonbuk, Jeon Pungnam Festival and Jeonju Paper Culture Festival which highlights some of Jeonju's most celebrated items including traditionally made Korean paper, fans and igang wine.
