01 · HISTORY
How this neighborhood remembers change
Hanok housing concentrates along changing streets
Traditional-style homes accumulated as Jeonju modernized, creating a dense residential landscape rather than a single preserved monument.
Preservation and tourism reshape daily life
Hanok preservation brought workshops, lodging, and heavy visitor flows, while the hyanggyo and residential lanes still hold deeper local time.
