About your trip

Jinju is located in the southern Korean peninsula. I went from Seoul to Jinju by Express Bus (it took about 5-6 travel hours). I would say Jinju looks like the city of Seoul with fewer people. It is a city, not a countryside, so the access is easily understood. There are buses and taxis for local transportation.
