Deokjin Park
덕진공원
A lakeside park in north Jeonju. Lotus flowers fill the pond in summer, and the suspension bridge across the lake and the Lotus Bridge are must-photograph scenes of Jeonju summers.
Deokjin Park is centered on Deokjin Pond, which covers about 90,000 square meters. About one-third of the water surface is covered with lotus plants. From mid-July to August, when the flowers bloom, you can walk along the wooden boardwalk known as Lotus Bridge, which crosses the lotus pond and feels like walking through a sea of flowers. The Jeonju Lotus Festival is also held here. Around the lake you will find a suspension bridge, a musical fountain, and a path lined with weeping willows. Cherry blossoms in spring are also beautiful. Entry is free.
From Hanok Village, it takes about 15 minutes by taxi, or you can take a bus to the Jeonbuk National University or Deokjin Park stop. The park is next to Jeonbuk National University, so you can stroll around the campus while you are there.
