Hanok Garden in Jeonju / 전주한옥마당

Jeonju Hanok Madang is located in the Jeonju Hanok Village. Jeonjucheon Stream and Namcheongyo Bridge are only one block away, whereas Gangam Calligraphy Museum, Jeonjuhyangyo Confucian School, Jeonju Hanbyuk Culture Center, Nambu Market, and Markbu Market Youth Mall are nearby. Major attractions of the Jeonju Hanok Village such as Gyeonggijeon, Jeondong Catholic Cathdral, and Omokdae are also within walking distance. The main building and servants’ quarters of Jeonju Hanok Madang were built in 1941. It was renovated to retain the original shape of the traditional hanok, yet cozy and comfortable enough for modern people to use. Porches are attached to every room while Faith Room and Hope Room have additional inner floors attached to it. Inside the rooms are rafters, beams, wooden pillars walled with Hanji wallpapers, and ribs of lattice doors. There is a clean bathroom in each room. The yard is the place the owner couple cherishes the most. Guests can enjoy the yard in any room just by opening the door. It is a combination of jar stands, a small pine tree, and small potted plants. Different flowers bloom from spring through autumn. It is such a pleasure to sit on the porch and appreciate the scene. In autumn, the persimmon tree bears fruits and dried persimmons hang from the eaves.
