This is the right way to open Jeonju Hyanggyo in South Korea.

🌟Highlights: Jeonju Hyanggyo was first built in the late Goryeo Dynasty, presumably in the 3rd year of King Gongmin of Goryeo, which is 1354. It was originally located near Gyeonggijeon Hall, but due to various reasons, it was moved to Hwansan-dong in the west of Jeonju in 1410, and then moved back to its current location in 1603. ❤Recommended Reason: Jeonju Hyanggyo was a national educational institution in the Jeonju area during the Joseon Dynasty. It is the most complete one among the many Hyanggyos preserved in South Korea. It has been designated as Historic Site No. 379 and is of great value for studying the history of education, culture, and the spread of Confucianism in Korea. ✅Must-try: Daeseongjeon Hall is the core building of Hyanggyo, used to enshrine the tablets of seven Chinese Confucian scholars, including Confucius, and 18 Korean ancestors. The architectural style is simple and elegant, reflecting the architectural characteristics of the Joseon Dynasty. ✅Must-try: Myeongryundang Hall is a place for students to study Confucian classics and conduct academic discussions. The building structure is exquisite, and the interior space is spacious and bright. There is usually a spacious courtyard in front of the hall, planted with various flowers, plants, and trees, creating a quiet learning atmosphere. 👍Most Recommended: Located in front of Daeseongjeon Hall, the apricot altar is a uniquely shaped pavilion surrounded by ginkgo trees. Every autumn, the golden leaves fall, creating a beautiful scene. 🚉Transportation: It is within walking distance from Jeonju Hanok Village, and you can also take local public transportation. 🍲Food: There are many traditional Korean restaurants nearby where you can taste Jeonju Bibimbap, Kongnamul Gukbap (Bean Sprout Soup with Rice), and Jeonju Jjim Galbi Tang (Braised Short Ribs Soup). 🏨Accommodation: You can choose to stay in a traditional Hanok hotel in Jeonju Hanok Village or a resort hotel in the beautiful and tranquil suburbs.
