Recommended Trails in Jeonju, Sinabro-gil Course 6

“Walking Course 6 of the Sinabro-gil is recommended for those visiting Jeonju.” Wanting to experience the arrival of spring, I plan to walk the Sinabro-gil, a recommended visit in Jeonju. I thought the rain had stopped completely, but as soon as I stepped outside, it began to fall again. I wondered whether to go back home but ultimately decided to proceed to my planned destination, the Eco Museum parking lot.

Upon arriving at the Eco Museum parking lot, I found that the building was being remodeled. Walking with an umbrella along Jeonju Stream towards Hanbyeokdang Pavilion, the air was filled with the scent of plum blossoms in full bloom. Looking down at Jeonju Stream from Hanbyeokdang Pavilion, I could see Goedok Mountain in the distance and teal ducks floating on the stream….
