Slow Walk in Jeonju Slow City (II)

Interesting places around Jeonju Hanok Village:


Jeonju Traditional Culture Center (전주전통문화관)

It was built in 2002 in front of the Korea-Japan World Cup inside Jeonju Hanok Village.

 Beautiful tiled roof (기와) with 3 entrance gates.

 Korean roofs have curves and turn upwards at the corners 

symbolise 'smile' and 'welcome'.

Big Drum Daego (대고)

We supposed to see and experience various Korean traditional culture like Pansori, traditional dances, classical music, traditional wedding ceremony and performances here.

But there's nobody inside this hall, and we didn't know how to go to other halls. Then we just went out and took some photos...

 Colorful decorated stones sitting on stairs...

Oh yeah, when we wandering around JIFF Film Street, we somehow landed at this unique Wedding Street in Jeonju.

 You can find everything about weddings... 

from beautiful western wedding dresses to rings...

 and rental of Wedding hall.

Nambu Traditional Market (전주 남부시장)

 Nambu market means "South market". 

It's located next to Jeonju Hanok Village, near to Pungnammun Gate. It took about 8-10 minutes walk from Jeonju Hanok Village Hotel to Nambu Market.

 Come out from hotel to main road, you'll find few lovely hanbok stores 

selling Traditional hanbok, Modern hanbok and kid's hanbok.

 Actually, I'm not sure whether they're selling cloth material for Hanbok 

or they also provide custom-made service...

 As you can see, they only displaying few hanboks in their stores.

 It'll be nice if I can rent Hanbok and walk around Hanok Village~^^

Just walk straight along these shop houses, you'll reach Nambu market.

 This traditional market was one of the 3 largest markets during 
Joseon Dynasty. It's opened as a regular public market in 1905.

 Currently the market is comprised of about 800 stores selling vegetables, 

fruits, food, dried fish, grains, furniture, silk goods, and general goods.

Fishmongers equipped with modern cold cases to keep fish fresh.

 

  Old traditional ambiance of an era but it's very clean and modern.

Famous bean sprout rice soup.

Many people come here to have their meals here, as you can find various foods 

and local dishes including Kongnamulbap (bean sprout rice soup), 

Baekban (rice, soup with side dishes), sundae sausage and makgeolli.
