The natural landscapes of the city and its environs are also remarkable. Jeonju is located in a valley that is surrounded by five different mountains, one of which has seven peaks. The air here is so clean that you can "drink" it.

No wonder the vegetables and fruits grown by local farmers are considered the most delicious and environmentally friendly in South Korea. Strawberries are especially fragrant here, which you can enjoy while going on excursion tours to local farms to get acquainted with life and taste local food.
Jeonju is famous for its special cuisine. Recently, UNESCO awarded the city for its "gastronomic identity", because some national dishes are prepared according to recipes that are several centuries old. And it is here that the best chefs in South Korea are trained, who then work in top- class restaurants around the world. And ordinary people cook well, it's not for nothing that festivals of national Korean food are held here, where chefs from all over the world come.

Attending the festival is free, and many come here just to admire the work of Korean chefs, because this process, however, like everyone else in the cultivation and preparation of food, is treated very attentively and respectfully by the inhabitants of this country. They believe that medicine and cooking have the same roots, so the right food will work just like medicine, curing disease and prolonging life.

In the 13th century, the building of the Confucian school was built in the city, which still exists today and is considered one of the main attractions of Jeonju.

I have never heard of this ecological place. I would love to visit it, and I believe the air there is very clean because there are no factories. Considering that I am a big gourmand, I would also like to try their food.
