Hanbyeokdang Pavilion
한벽당
A 15th-century pavilion built on a cliff above the Jeonju Stream. It is one of the Eight Scenic Views of Jeonju, and the nearby tunnel through the old railway, Hanbyeokgul, is a popular spot for night photos.
Hanbyeokdang was built in 1404 by Choi Dam, a founding meritorious subject of the Joseon dynasty. It stands on a rock wall beside the Jeonju Stream, where the blue water crashes against the rocks and throws up cold white spray. The view, known as “Clear Smoke over the Cold Blue Waters,” is listed as one of the Eight Scenic Views of Jeonju. The old railway tunnel below the pavilion, called Hanbyeokgul, is lit up at night and is a favorite photo spot. A walking path along the Jeonju Stream leads from here all the way to Namcheon Bridge and Hanok Village.
Entry is free, and the site is open all day. From Jeonju Hyanggyo and Omokdae at the southeast end of Hanok Village, it is about a 10-minute walk. It is a good place for an evening stroll and sunset.
