Rooted in the fertile Honam Plain and its long-established rice farming, Jeollabuk-do has become a cultural and agricultural centre of southwest South Korea. Its provincial capital, Jeonju, is known for Jeonju Hanok Village, where hundreds of traditional Korean houses remain, and for bibimbap, one of the country’s best-known dishes. Gyeonggijeon Shrine preserves a portrait of King Taejo, founder of the Joseon dynasty, connecting the city to the royal Yi family. Beyond the urban streets, the Mangyeong and Dongjin river basins spread across the plain, while Naejangsan National Park is associated with autumn foliage.
