July 17, 2021 Terina Blouin

Arts, entertainment, fashion, history and nature: Incheon has it all (and more)! The city is undergoing an extravagant real estate development, with a projected finish date of 2015. It also expects a large number of visitors for its 2014 Asian Games. Visitors can peruse designer shops in the Bupyeong district, enjoy events at the Arts Centre or discover local history at Liberty Park and Independence Memorial Hall. Head to the country's only official Chinatown for authentic cuisine and souvenirs. A ferry rides to the nearby islands is the perfect escape from the excitement of the city.

Incheon Bridge

Reviewed By jajavalB - Lampang, Thailand

This 21 km long bridge connecting mainland and airport island, it takes about 20 minutes to pass , with toll gate of 20USD fee. So flagging taxi to and from airport,it's luxurious transportation but extremely expensive. The bridge run in east west direction so it's picturesque of korean sea on clear sky days.Unfortunately, it's foggy and cold freezy day during my visit.

another must visit site to understand one of the most important events of the Korean war. Close to Walmido and China town and a good place to take a walk if you are stuck at immigration which is a ten minute walk away. get off at Incheon station on the Seoul Incheon number 1 line about one hour from downtown Seoul. there are airporter buses that take you to Walmido - the subway ride from the airport is a bit incovenient multiple transferes.

Jeondeungsa Temple

JeondeungsaThe oldest temple in this historical region … Jeondeungsa Temple is located on Ganghwa Island, which has been a historically significant place from the time of ancient Joseon (i.e. the birth of the Korean people), until the present day. So naturally, the atmosphere is quite different than other places as you make your way up to the temple. After you get out of your car and start to make your way up the mountain, you’ll notice that it’s totally encircled by a fortress. This is the Samnang Fortress, which was designed to help protect the land from foreign invaders. You should pass through the fortress gate to enter the temple, as these days the entrance to the temple is actually what was once the old fortress gate.

a classic old temple in Gangwha Island not far from Manisan. this is a temple stay temple and I intend to do that one of these days. it is not too far from the airport but a bit far for a overlay doable if you are staying near the airport or in Seoul. there are buses from the airport to Ganghwa then local buses or taxies.

Cool Market to visit if you have time. I would recomend to visit also the underground market in nearby subway stations specially if you are going for summer vacations. There's a famous spice coated fried chicken for 17000won/bucket worth the trip. Sometimes the waiting lines are huge, be aware.

A very romantic place to enjoy characters of different houses. Need to spend at least 2-3 hours to thoroughly enjoy. The up and down hill of the village reminds me of San Francisco. What a joyful walk by evening!
