Introducing Jeonju Hanok Village

It is Jeonju where one of the most traditional cities in Korea. Jeonju is located in Jeollabuk Province, southern part of Korea.

And there is Hanok Village which is Korean traditional style village where you can feel the real Korea.

Since I was born and have lived here in Jeonju, I go around there from time to time. As I was young, I used to walk the streets there with my parents holding hand in hand and now, my children and husband are my companies.

How to look around the village?
Here is a tip to look around it well. Start from Geongkijeon(the historical buildings from Choseon Dynasty).
Starting from Geongijeon, look around some Korean unique houses and shops along the narrow paths and then go up to the small hill called Omokdae to see the whole village. You can have warm and peaceful feelings looking down the view. It is not just traditional which has only an old style but something modern adding in it.

I guess the best part of enjoying the Hanok Village is to feel the Korean houses walking along the paths. From young kids to elders, to foreigners, all the visitors sink into its fascinating lines of Hanok; the beauty of its curves and straights mingled together catch the people’s eyes.

When spring comes, the Hanji (the Korean traditional handmade paper) festival will be held in Jeonju and there will be various events waiting for us such as making kites, fans, masks and lamp covers that you can experience and make some special memories.

Then what kinds of food should we try in the Hanok village?
There are some famous dishes around the village such as bean sprout soup, DDuckalbi, knife-cut noodles, eta.
Although the dishes are folky and not very expansive, their tastes are rich and give us feel satisfied.

I really recommend you visit the attractive village one day if you want to get the healing of your heart.

Boston Common of peace city

 

Boston Common is the oldest park in America. It is a resting place of Boston people which is located in Boston Downtown. Many people enjoy talking walks around the park and being on a picnic. It was originally a grazing land for cattles, but afterward, it became a place of people being utilized for citizen rally, and speech. It has a lot of luxuriant trees, wide lawn, and lake. So you can have fun in the water in summer, and skate in winter. Boston Common adjoins Public Garden, which has lots of flowers and trees. There are many people avoiding the heat and taking rests in the shade of trees.

Escaping from busy urban life, People look good and peaceful reading books, chatting with friends, and taking rests in the nature.
