There
is nothing better than adding some meaning to your vacation. Because of that,
Jung-gu, Incheon city is said to be an attraction that is attached with a lot
of meaning as compared to other areas. Chinatown, that is located around
Seollin-dong and Buksheong-dong in Jung-gu, is one of the representatives of
tourist attraction in Incheon with long history.
Let's
take a look at the history of Chinatown. After the opening of Incheon Port in
1883, many Chinese has entered Korea and have been living there. Since then,
Chinese food has been spread around and this place has became the best food
town in Incheon, gathering many Chinese food restaurants.
Two
of the large-size restaurants - "Gonghwachun" and
"Yeongyeong" can be known as the Chinatown main commercial area as it
is always crowded around the restaurants during weekends. Especially, if you
come to the famous Chinese food restaurants on weekends, you will see many
tourists queuing. This is definitely an unusual scene.
"Gonggal
bread"(known as crunchy balloon bread) is the one of the representative
food of Chinatown and you can see it everywhere. The sellers are very friendly and
they let you try the bread too. This will add a lot of fun to your shopping.
Also, the sculptures that you see in Chinatown will make your trip more
interesting.
If
you visit Chinatown, you should never missed "The Three Kingdoms Mural
Street", which is a popular place among tourists. Of course, the history
of Three Kingdoms is also recorded there.
After
eating delicious food in Chinatown, let us head to the children's world in
"Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village". As it is located right next to
Chinatown, it is an advantage that you can visit this place too.
Songwol-dong
Fairy Tale Village is a village around Songwol-3ga area made of world's classic
fairy tale theme with paintings and sculptures that are filled with childhood
memories. It was completed in April 2013 especially for the tourists. This is a
fruitful result from the local residents who corporate voluntarily and work

Little Red Riding Hood" whereby adults can reminisce their childhood
memories while children can be introduced to these amazing fairy tales. Because
