Jeonju Map Poster & Print

From above, Jeonju sits in a shallow bowl where the Honam plain meets low hills to the east and south. The Jeonjucheon stream runs through the city from the southeast, curves along the edge of the old centre and then heads northwest to join larger waterways. That stream gives the whole map a natural spine, with bridges crossing it at close, regular intervals.

The historic core shows up as a tight patch of short, irregular lanes beside the stream. This is the Hanok Village, where hundreds of traditional tiled-roof houses still stand, close to the Gyeonggijeon shrine that keeps a portrait of Taejo, founder of the Joseon dynasty. A Jeonju map poster keeps that fine-grained quarter and sets it against the wider, straighter boulevards built around it in the twentieth century.

Further out the street pattern changes. To the north, Deokjin Park and its lotus pond make an open shape near the university grounds, while newer districts to the west are laid out in broad, planned blocks with apartment superblocks in between. Hills close the map on the southern and eastern sides. Jeonju is the capital of Jeollabuk-do and a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, best known as the home of bibimbap.
