-Tour Site Information-

Jeonju has a millennium-old history of being home to many dynasties and reigns of royalty.

Jeonju Hanok Village has 700 traditional Korean houses, Hanok that are still home to residents today. Hanok

Village is the best-preserved living traditional village. It is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Korea. Jeonju also hosted the FIFA World Cup 2002, which saw grand scale refurbishments to many areas in Jeonju for World Cup visitors.

Many traditional and historic sites are excellently preserved in Jeonju such as Gyeonggi Palace, Jeondong Catholic Church, Pungnam-dong, Omokdae, Hyanggyo, Gwonhwon Fortress ruins, Namgo Fortress and many others historic sites. There are also traditional culture learning centers such as art crafts exhibition halls, master products exhibition centers, Hanok Living Experience centers, traditional alcohol museum, Hanji centers, and herbal medicine experience centers. People can also participate in learning about and making traditional art crafts such as Hapjukseon or Taegukseon (fans) along with trying out the traditional tea shops and restaurants. Jeonju offers visitors much to see, do and eat.

Historically, the neighboring area of Kyo-dong, Pungnam-dong and the urban Hanok are the living record of Korea’s modernization process and the transformation of housing since 1910. Many scholars and civil organization demand the preservation and management of the area with important governmental authority to provide preservation, improvement and management under strict supervision. Jeonju’s urban Hanok Village is the only place that so well preserves the old traditional streets, houses and structures from Korea’s past.

The Geumsansa is located in the heart of Moak mountain of Geumsan-myum, City of Gimje, Jeonbuk Province. It was founded in the King Beop’s reign (Baekje Dynasty, AD 599) during the Era of Three States. The Master Jinpyo reconstructed and expanded Geumsansa as the main and fundamental temple for worshiping and practicing the Mireuk (Maitreya) Buddhism during the King Hyegong reign (Unified Silla Dynasty, AD 766). The current iron platform of the Maitreya Hall is the relics of this period. Originally, the 33 cheok (10m) Maitreya Statue was enshrined above this iron platform, but it was no longer inherited.

The Royal Preceptor Haeduck Wangsa (Goryo Dynasty, AD 1097), developed Geumsansa as the Greater Temple District including 86 shrine halls and 43 hermitages. This was the unprecedented religious & cultural golden age of Geumsansa. The most of stone cultural treasures in courtyard were made during this period.

During the Chosun Dynasty since AD 1592, Chosun fought a big war against Japan twice. Geumsansa organized the Buddhist volunteer corps of over 1,500 monks fought ferociously and died bravely against the invading Japanese forces. The entire temple pavilion and hermitages were razed to the ground in the fire set by the invading Japanese forces in AD 1596 in retaliation.

After the war, the Master Sumun restored the temple with the help of the nation. Unfortunately, only the partial reconstruction works was completed (AD 1635). The Maitreya Hall (National Treasure #62), the Maitreya Three Buddha Statue, and Daejang Jeon(Treasure #827) were restored at this period.

The venerable Taegong Wolju, who devoted his entire life to reviving the Korea Buddhism, was appointed as the Abbot in 1961. With the dedication and devotion of the Master Taegong Wolju, Geumsansa has completely restored the Greater Temple District that the glorious past possessed and stands majestically in the front of us nowadays.

Currently, Geumsansa has one national treasure and 10 treasures that nationally registered and managed by the Cultural Properties Administration.

- Food -

Bibimbap is a signature Korean dish. The word literally means "mixed meal." Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot.

Vegetables commonly used in bibimbap include julienned cucumber, zucchini, mu (daikon), mushrooms, doraji (bellflower root), and gim, as well as spinach, soybean sprouts, and gosari (bracken fern stems). Dubu (tofu), either plain or sautéed, or a leaf of lettuce may be added, or chicken or seafood may be substituted for beef. For visual appeal, the vegetables are often placed so that adjacent colors complement each other.

In Korea, Jeonju is especially famous for their versions of bibimbap.
