🧭Visit info
Formed with the opening of Incheon Port in 1883, this is Korea's only official Chinatown. Once you pass the massive Paeru (Chinese gate) right outside the subway station, an exotic world painted in red unfolds. This isn't just a tourist spot; it's the historic birthplace of Korean-style Jajangmyeon (black bean noodles). The savory smell of black bean sauce fills every alley, while unique snacks like clay oven dumplings and Gonggalppang (hollow bread) tempt you. Take a time travel trip through streets breathing with modern history.
