Course Overview
This approximately 12 km night drive explores Jeonju after dark, from the ginkgo-lined Jeonjucheon Stream to the softly lit Hanok Village and the illuminated Gyeonggijeon Shrine and Jeondong Cathedral.
The nighttime Hanok Village has an entirely different character from daytime, with warm hanji lanterns lighting narrow alleys. Gyeonggijeon's seasonal night viewing creates a royal Joseon atmosphere.
