Visiting Jeonju part 2

While in Jeonju, I learned about this place called Martyrs' Mountain.  Apparently in the late 19th Century a family of Korean Catholics were murdered in Jeonju, at this time Korea was overwhelmingly Buddhist,  by the townspeople on orders of the local government.  Not to long after their murder, the family was buried together in a single tomb.  Nowadays this place is a for Catholics pilgrims to visit in Korea.  One warning though, if cemeteries bother you, you might find it difficult to get to this place.

Visiting Jeonju

Jeonju is in the western part of Korea, about one hour south of Daejon, and it one of my favourite cities to visit in this country.  It is similar in style to Gyeongju, with lots of old buildings and historical places to see, also the Koreans who work in the 'old city' speak very good English.  These photos are from Neososa Temple near Jeonju.
