Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

If you will ONLY visit Jeonju and not other locations with shrines and palaces or if you want a quiet walk away from the busy city then go ahead, but for us it was not worth our effort because we have seen many others and it was a bit out of the way and we wanted to pack in a lot on our 2 day 1 night trip and this took more time than I wanted. It’s a reasonably short walk less than a mile surely- up hillsides and over a bridge. It was not at all crowded and we went ahead to the art district afterwards since we were close. It was fine, but compared to everything else we’ve done in this beautiful country it wasn’t worth our time.

If you happen to be in Jeonju Hanok Village - and if you fancy 5 minutes of uphill exercise and stairs, then by all means, head up to this so-called viewpoint.
However, the view of the city's picturesque roofs isn't particularly impressive, but it's quiet and peaceful unlike the 'amusement park' below. So, take the trip up, if only to get a few extra steps for your daily exercise routine.

These two adjacent sides are related to King Taejo, the first king of the Joseon dynasty. Omokdae is located on top of a steep hill and recorded as one of the places where the king stopped to celebrate a victorious battle over a Japanese army. There's a pavilion here where the celebratory banquet was held. Close by is Imokdae, where there's memorial stones for Mokjo, the great-great-grandfather of King Taejo.
There's a viewing point on the way up that provides breathtaking views of Jeonju Hanok Village. The aforementioned pavilion also provides similar views. These two distorted areas are great to visit when in Jeonju.

Both are located on the steep upslope/stairs. Imokdae is a stone tablet marking where the king’s great grand......grandfather was born. Omokdae is the pavilion and another stone tablet. Come here for the history.

A nice view of the Hanok Village but nothing much, otherwise. It's not very crowded so lovely place to take some nice photos.

Not far from the Hanok Village on top of a small hill is the sight known as Omokdae, it is here that Yi Seong-gye, who would become the first King of the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1897), stayed after a victorious win against Japanese pirates at Hwangsan. A stunning open-sided pavilion monument was erected in 1900 to remember the event. The sight is free to visit. From the Hanok Village there is a small climb up a hill then a set of stairs to arrive at the pavilion. On the day of our visit we were the only foreigners there when several young Korean school children out on a day excursion came over to us keen to practice their English with us. We have a fond memory of this experience.
From the top of this hill there are glimpses over the rooftops of neighbouring Hanok villages through the scattered trees.

It is at the backside of jeonju hanook village. There are many way to go up when you arrive it is open air ground. Good spot to see all the hanook village area from the top. Especially when it snow. Great to drop by.

its worth a walk.. if you reach it via the trails its a little bit like sentosa trails. but you can see nive views of jeonju as you walk up. just when you feel abit stretched you will have arrive at the top n there's is their korea pavilion for you to sit n relax among this secluded clearing... you need to remove your shoes though.
while catching your breath sitting down, you can start to imagine scholars, poets having literary conversation or pondering thoughts. its kinda of amazing how this place can easily transport you back in time.

Try to reach Omokdae and feel relax in the gazebo, by hiking a little while and get a full landscape of Jeonju.

These two locations are next to one another on a hill top close to the centre of Jeonju. The walk up is a short, fairly steep climb, not too difficult. Good vies of the Hanok village can be had on the climb. Worth a short detour to see the views.
