Experience Time Travel in Incheon: a City Where Past, Present, and Future Co-Exist

This story was created in partnership with: Incheon Tourism Organization 

When you think of South Korea, your mind likely conjures up images of ultra-modern cities and futuristic skyscrapers, but there’s so much more to this destination than contemporary, cutting-edge facades. 

In fact, there are plenty of places you can visit that will have you feeling as though you’re travelling through time, discovering everything from centuries-old traditions to state-of-the-art architecture all in one day. 

Incheon in particular, is a city where you can find all three — past, present, and future — coexisting side by side. Home to the country’s largest airport and located an easy one-hour journey from Seoul, Incheon has managed to preserve its cultural heritage while also looking to the future — and that’s only one of many reasons you should consider adding it to your South Korea itinerary.

Read on to learn how you can experience both the modern and historic sides of this largely underrated city.

Travel back in time

From ancient traditions to fascinating museums, these Incheon attractions will help you discover Korean culture as you travel through various time periods.

Explore Open Port Area

A historically significant area situated near Chinatown, Open Port Area offers a window into the past with various architectural styles from the late 1800s. 

Kick your sightseeing off here with a visit to the Incheon Open Port Museum, which is housed in a building that formerly served as a branch of Japan’s 18th Bank. Through the museum’s engaging exhibitions, you can embark on a historic journey through the city’s fascinating past.

Jung-gu Life Center is another noteworthy attraction in this area, offering a glimpse of life in Jung-gu (a district in Incheon) throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

Learn about the ancient art of hanji

Discover the centuries-old tradition of hanji — the ancient art of Korean papermaking — at Lee Dak Hanji Art Cafe-Gallery. Created from the bark of mulberry trees, hanji is widely used in a number of different ways, from everyday items to letter paper and as material for handicrafts.

Not only can you learn all about this unique practice here, but you can also try your hand at hanji and make a one-of-a-kind souvenir to take home.

Visit Ganghwa Island

Ganghwa Island (sometimes also called Ganghwado), is located northwest of Incheon’s downtown core, and is easily accessible by bus. Dotted with sprawling valleys, pine forests, and mountain peaks, this rural destination allows visitors to experience a completely different side of South Korea, away from the country’s frenetic cities.

There are so many natural and manmade wonders to see here, and you could easily spend a full day exploring historic attractions, hidden temples, beaches, and UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The 1,700-year-old Jeondeungsa Temple, Ganghwa Dolmen Park (which is famous for its scattered giant stones dating back to the Bronze age), and Chojijin Fortress are a few places you absolutely can’t miss here.

Step back into the present

After you’ve immersed yourself in Incheon’s fascinating past and discovered exactly what makes Korean heritage so unique, it’s time to experience the everyday destinations that make this city tick.

Incheon Grand Park

For a bit of respite from the hustle and bustle, head to Incheon Grand Park, the largest urban green space in the city. Surrounded by two mountains — Gwanmosan Mountain and Sangassan Mountain — and encompassing an area of 727 acres, this park offers visitors the chance to experience the best of Incheon’s leafy, natural landscapes.

Home to an array of fantastic restaurants and museums, Incheon’s historic Chinatown is the only one of its kind in Korea, making it a worthwhile stop for anyone interested in food and culture. One of the country’s favourite dishes, jjajangmyeon (black soy bean noodles), is a must-try here, as the dish is said to have originated right in this very spot. 

Sinpo International Market

Historically a hub for international trade and popular for selling crafts and everyday items, this lively market is now a haven for foodies. If you want to fill up on mouth watering street food and Korean staples, there’s no better place to sample an assortment of local delicacies — be it the famous dish of dakgangjeong (deep-fried chicken), tteokbokki (spicy rice cake), or kimbap (seaweed rice rolls).

Get a glimpse of the future 

Designated as one of the world’s first smart cities, Incheon’s Songdo boasts a wide range of innovative technologies in its infrastructure, including digitally advanced buildings and sensors built into the streets to monitor everything from traffic flow to energy use. 

For a high-tech utopia, Songdo surprisingly has an abundance of green space — the largest of which is Songdo Central Park, a 100-acre seaside park inspired by its New York City namesake. This is where you can go to escape the concrete jungle and joy activities like boating and cycling.

Once you’ve explored the best of Songdo on ground level, experience the city from a completely different perspective at G Tower Songdo, a 150-metre structure with a free observation deck on the 33rd floor.

After all, the city is brimming with options like parks, beaches, amusement parks, and restaurants.

Incheon rich in history and culture

Journalists from Sarawak and Sabah pose at Chinatown.

Incheon, one of the gateways to South Korea, is a city with a rich tapestry of history, culture and modern amenities, making it a must-visit destination, even for a short 12-hour tour.

If you are pressed for time, there are a few great places to visit.

The Chinatown at Incheon is the largest in South Korea and according to tour guide Lisa Hong, its rich history dates back to the late 19th century when Incheon opened its port to international trade.

She explained to reporters from Sabah and Sarawak who were on a familiarisation tour to South Korea organised by the Korean Tourism Organization (KTO) and Air Asia that the Chinatown became a hub for Chinese immigrants who settled in the area and established businesses, restaurants and cultural institutions.

She added that Chinatown grew and flourished to become the largest Chinatown in South Korea and a popular tourist destination.

The buggies that would take the media group on a tour of Chinatown right up to Freedom Park.

One of the best ways to explore the offerings at Chinatown is on a buggy ride, which took the media group all the way to Freedom Park.

Among the must visit in Chinatown is the Samgukji Mural Street, where colourful murals depicting scenes of China’s three kingdoms, as well as the Fairytale village, where houses are painted with murals of cartoon characters.

The media group was also brought to the Freedom Park (Jayu Park) to learn about Korea’s fight for independence, as well as to the Incheon’s Citizen’s House. One of the prominent statues at the Freedom Park was that of General Douglas MacArthur for his role in liberating Incheon from North Korean control.

And according to Lisa, the Incheon’s Citizen’s House was opened to the public in 2005 and used to host various cultural, education and community activities in Incheon, South Korea.

After that, the group was transferred to the Songdo District for a lunch date with the Incheon Tourism Organisation at the Incheon Oakwood Hotel Buffet, and thereafter, visited the National Museum of World Writing System.

Going through exhibits at the National Museum of World Writing System.

The National Museum of World Writing System is one of the few museums in the world dedicated entirely to the history and evolution of writing systems.

Visitors can explore various scripts, characters and writing tools from different cultures and time periods at the museum. It boasts an extensive collection of artefacts related to writing, including ancient manuscripts, inscriptions, calligraphy and printing materials, to provide insights into the diverse ways human societies have communicated and recorded information over millennia.

Next on the tour list was the Inspire Entertainment Resort Incheon, which we were informed was a facility with a 5-star hotel with 1,275 rooms; a 15,000-seat performance arena as well as a year-round indoor water park housed beneath a glass dome to ensure a tropical temperature at all seasons.

Prior to returning to Kota Kinabalu on AirAsia’s direct flight from Incheon, the media group was treated to dinner at the Eunhaeng Namu Jib which served grilled fish and seafood, and at MADELIM Café, a forest theme establishment adorned with stained glasses, for drinks.

“Eunhaeng Namu Jib serves seafood-based cuisines so it is perfect for Muslim travellers to dine there. And it is also near the Incheon Airport,” said KTO’s MICE Manager, Hiza Idris.

She added that it is also an affordable place to eat, citing that two people can have grilled fish, green onion pancake, and nutritious oyster rice for only 38,000 KRW.

“For MADELIM Cafe, Incheon Tourism Organization has been promoting this as their Incheon Unique Space, since it is a 120-year-old church turned into a cafe. In order to preserve the history and to attract visitors, the cafe includes regular art exhibitions and jazz performances every Saturday, and this is aligned with their effort to attract audiences of various ages to visit Incheon city,” said Hiza.

RAKSO TRAVEL Partners with the Incheon Tourism Organization

Most countries went on lockdown in 2020, including South Korea which also closed its borders to tourists, only allowing a few people to enter for special cases.

Many people forget that Incheon is not only just a location where you can find one of the well-known international airports in South Korea. Incheon apart from being a major gateway to the country is actually filled with places that you can visit.  

As South Korea is not only known for the preservation of its cultural and historical sites but also known for leading the race to develop smart cities where it can also resolve many urban and environmental issues and Incheon City is one of those. 

Apart from being known for its technology, Incheon can also offer you locations that you can visit, like the Songdo Central Park, which an eco-friendly, but also enjoy and educate urban parks in Korea. 

Since Incheon is also a coastal area, sunsets  (or sunrise) at the beach are a given.

And if you're feeling extra and want a more tranquil place to see, the rock formation at Baengnyeongdo Island might be the answer, or how about the Sorae Ecology Park, where you'll also find several traditional looking windmills standing as what was known to be Salt Farm back in the days.
