Namcheon Bridge
The 82.5 meter long, 25 meter wide Namcheon Bridge connecting Hanok Village in Gyo-dong with Seohak-dong is located at the upper reaches of Jeonju Stream. It was built as a stone arched bridge with 5 span length in 1790 (14th year of King Jeongjo's reign) and has been known as the most beautiful bridge in Jeonju. As there are five arches, it was also called 'angyeongdari' (bridge of glasses). Following several reconstructions, the bridge was newly established in December 2009. Namcheon Bridge became a popular attraction in Jeonju as Korea's only arched bridge with a half-hipped roof. Spanning 30 kilometers, Jeonju Stream is a local class 1 stream that flows from the southeast to Jeonju to the northwest. Before the implementation of the natural stream construction project, the stream was severely polluted, so it was practically uninhabited. Thanks to the ecosystem restoration project performed with investment of KRW 11 billion for five years from 1998 to 2002, however, the stream now has high quality water that is close to class 1 clean water.
