Jeonju Hanok Village
Jeonju Hanok Village is known for lanes lined with traditional tiled roofs and walls. Photograph along a public alley to show the repeating rooflines, and avoid pointing the camera into private homes or courtyards.
Search Google MapsOmokdae Pavilion
Omokdae is an elevated viewpoint above the Hanok Village. Look down across the tightly clustered rooftops and make a wide frame that shows their pattern, leaving the pavilion’s edge in view if useful.
Search Google MapsJeondong Catholic Cathedral
Jeondong Cathedral has a red brick exterior and a central bell tower flanked by smaller towers. From the public street, photograph the façade frontally to emphasise that symmetry without entering the active church.
Search Google MapsGyeonggijeon Shrine
