Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local cuisine, such as bibimbap and jeon, at traditional Korean restaurants. Learn a few basic Korean phrases to communicate with locals and show respect for the culture. Pack comfortable shoes for exploring the many hiking trails and historic sites in Jeonbuk. Be prepared for some language barriers, as English may not be widely spoken outside of tourist areas. Always carry cash, as some smaller shops and restaurants may not accept credit cards. Stay hydrated and wear sunscreen during the summer months to protect against the strong sun.
