Must-Visit Spots in Jeonju! Jeondong Catholic Cathedral and Gyeonggijeon Shrine!

โœ๏ธ Jeondong Cathedral & ๐Ÿ‡ฐ๐Ÿ‡ทGyeonggijeon Shrine Experience the antique style of the Jeondong Catholic Cathedral and the Gyeonggijeon Shrine, which houses the portrait of King Taejo Lee Seong-Gye~ It might seem like an odd combination, but it's a pairing that seems possible in Jeonju. The two places are right next to each other, so it's great to visit them together. Jeondong Cathedral is not very large, but it's surrounded by cozy clusters of Western modern-style buildings, making it a nice place for a leisurely stroll. If you're a Catholic, you can also attend Mass, so keep that in mind. Gyeonggijeon Shrine may not have new buildings, but it has modest Hanok (traditional Korean houses) and you can see the portrait of King Taejo Lee Seong-Gye, the founder of the Joseon Dynasty. It's as if you can feel the energy of Lee Seong-Gye~ There are also many cafes nearby and places selling Jeonju's famous chocolate pies, making it a nice spot for a casual visit.
