Travel question
What is a good Jeonju day trip with kids?
Short answer
Jeonju works well as a day trip with children because the Hanok Village area is flat and compact. Chain Hanok Village → Gyeonggijeon Shrine → Jeonju Hyanggyo → Omokdae or the Hanji Museum and you can cover the highlights entirely on foot.
