Gyeongam-dong is a retro-themed alley area near Jeonju Hanok Village, decorated with nostalgic murals and old-fashioned shopfronts evoking mid-20th-century Korea, similar in spirit to other 'time-slip' photo neighborhoods around the country. It's a small, easily walkable extension of a Hanok Village visit rather than a standalone destination.

Its proximity to the main Hanok Village makes it an easy add if you have extra time after covering the more famous sights nearby.
