Korea's gateway port — Chinatown, Songdo and island ferries.
For most travellers Incheon is the first sight of Korea — but the port city is far more than its airport. This is where the country opened to the world in the 19th century, and the history shows: Korea's largest Chinatown climbs the hill above the old harbour, the birthplace of jjajangmyeon, the black-bean noodle every Korean grew up on.
Cross to the mirrored towers and central park of Songdo, ride the old ferris wheel at Wolmido, or take a ferry out to the tidal flats and temples of Ganghwa Island. Close enough to Seoul for a day trip yet a world apart, this is where every Incheon thread — what to do, where to eat, sleep, and shop — comes together in one place.
