Gyeonggijeon Shrine houses the royal portrait of King Taejo, founder of the Joseon Dynasty, making it a sacred site tied to the dynasty's very origins. A path lined with red-spiked gates, whispering bamboo groves, and weathered stone walls leads visitors toward the main hall, evoking the atmosphere of a historical drama. Located in the heart of Jeonju Hanok Village, it's the perfect spot for a leisurely stroll in rented hanbok, easily paired with a visit to nearby Jeondong Cathedral.
경기전은 조선을 건국한 태조 이성계의 어진을 모시기 위해 지어진 사당으로, 조선 왕조의 뿌리를 간직한 유서 깊은 공간이다. 홍살문을 지나 정전으로 이어지는 길과 대나무숲, 고즈넉한 돌담길이 어우러져 사극 속 한 장면 같은 풍경을 자아낸다. 전주한옥마을 중심에 위치해 한복을 입고 산책하기 좋으며, 전동성당과 함께 둘러보기에도 안성맞춤이다.
