More than 800 traditional hanok houses from the Joseon dynasty make up Jeonju's historic quarter, South Korea's largest and best-preserved neighbourhood of its kind. The area holds UNESCO Creative City status for gastronomy, reflecting its position as a centre for Korean culinary heritage. Wander the narrow lanes to see the distinctive curved roofs and wooden architecture that define these centuries-old dwellings, many now housing restaurants, cafés and craft shops. It's the most intact example of pre-modern Korean town planning.
