Jeonju Hanok (Korean traditional houses) Village (전주한옥마을) Located in Kyo Dong, this village is comprised of more than dozens of Hanok. Most of Hanok were constructed in Joseon period (1392-1910). Here you can experience a variety of traditional Korean culture such as making traditional Korean paper (Hanji) or trying Korean liquor.

Ohmockdae (오목대) is located near by Hanok Village. It is a small hill with a traditional house on top. The best thing about this spot is the night view of the city.
The Gaeksa building (객사), located in the city centre, was built around 1471 and used used to accommodate important visitors. Rituals to honour the king were also held here. It's a meeting place for many as well as a hangout location for many old men. The downtown area sourrounding is also referred to as Gaeksa. To get downtown most people will simply tell the taxi driver to take them to Gaeksa.
The DeokJin Park (덕진공원) is located near by Jeonbuk university. You can see the bridge on the pond and Changpo herbs (창포) and you can take a duck boat. At night you can also see the music fountail and beatiful lights on bridge. At the middle of bridge there's a cafe and a convinience store.
The Hansol Paper Museum records the history of paper making and usages since the age of the Egyptians. There is an interesting movie shown in English upon request. Most of the signs are in korean only, but I found the museum quite interesting. There are some displays on traditional Korean paper making. You also have a chance to make a piece of paper there as well. On weekends and holidays, there are various workshops available.
