지도를 든 도꼬

Hi there!
I'm Dokko, your guide at Amudena.
I'm actually a burr seed, the kind that hitches a ride on passersby's clothes and travels.
This time, I'm sticking to you!

“Amudena” is Korean for “anywhere.” Wherever the wheel lands, that’s where you’re going.

What's Jeonju-si like?

안경 쓴 도꼬

I'll tell you just a little of what I know.

This is Jeonju, the heart of North Jeolla. It's famous for the Hanok Village packed with tiled roofs!

Bibimbap, kongnamul-gukbap, and gamaek too. It's well known as a city of food.

Hanji paper, pansori, films: it's a town overflowing with culture, too.
