Jeonju Hanok Village is very unique. Every hanok now is used as different function, like restaurant, cafe, souvenir shop, cultural center (tea house, traditional dress "hanbok" house, ceramics house, etc).
Not too far from Hanok Village, we could visit the Jeondong Cathedral and Pungnamun Gate. The church is quite unique but to be honest, the Gate is not special for me, compare to other gates in Seoul.
The most memorable thing from Jeonju is the famous Jeonju Bibimbap. Yesss, Jeonju is where bibimbap come from. We found a restaurant which was quite full at lunch time. We paid 24.000 KRW for 2 portions of bibimbap with many side dishes. It was very yummy...the best bibimbap I've ever had !!!

We arrived back at Seoul at 6 pm and it was still a good time in summer for exploring another place. Since my hubby was fall in love with the spectacular river, we chose to pass the Cheonggyecheon stream once again to have a night shot. What a beautiful stream...in the evening and night, both were beautiful !!!! I just wished if only we have a river in Jakarta with only 30% of this river's quality...i will be amazed...

For us, tired wasn't a reason to stop our walking foot. We tried to find the Banpo Bridge, and unfortunately it was quite far from the MRT station, so we had to force our tired feet to reach the bridge.
And it was worth it. The Banpo Bridge was wonderful. Once again, Korea's government was successful to provide good and well maintenance public space. We enjoyed the wonderful bridge with so many families, kids with bicycles, couples with picnic food, men with dogs, etc...
