Seonunsan Provincial Park Getting there & around

Getting there & away

Buses (W4000, 1½ hours, every 30 minutes) run from Jeonju to Gochang, from where buses (W1800, 20 minutes, hourly) run to Seonunsan.

In Gochang, walk out of the bus terminal, turn left and at the main crossroads turn right to visit Gochang Fortress, a 10-minute walk. On the right is the Pansori Museum (560 2761; adult/youth/child W800/500/free; 9am-6pm Tue-Sun), with memorabilia on this unique solo opera musical form. The well-preserved, ivy-covered, 1.6km-long, 15th-century fortress wall (admission free; 9am-7pm Mar-Oct, 9am-5pm Nov-Feb) surrounds buildings such as a three-cell prison. A local belief is that if a woman walks three times around the wall with a stone on her head in a leap month, then she will never become ill and will enter paradise.
