Yeongjongjin Park (feat. Gueup Baeteo)

Gueup Baeteo

One Autumn day when the cold wind blows, we traveled to Gueup Baeteo (Old Boat Docks) in Incheon to enjoy the sea scenery and seasonal seafood.

This location is Gueup Baeteo, where Gyeongwon Pavilion that was for envoys from the Song Dynasty of China during Goryeo Dynasty, and the place where international trade ships come and go. It is known as the only sea route leading to the land until Yeongjongdaegyo Bridge connecting to the land was built. Let's take a walk and feel the beauty of mudflats and the ships that come and go.

The prawns and gizzard shad are in season during Autumn, so it is recommended to try the grilled prawns after taking a walk by the seaside.

Yeongjongjin Park

After visiting Gueup Baeteo, it is recommended to visit Yeongjongjin Park.

At the center of Yeongjongjin Park that is facing Gueup Baeteo, there is a.memorial monument to commemorate the souls of 35 people who lost their lives during Unyangho incident.

For Korean visitors who come here with their family can read the signboards to learn about the history. It is killing two birds with one stone as they can learn about the history while being on an outing.

​

Let's enjoy the sea view that is harmonized with the silver grass.

When you walk pass the Forest Kindergarten that is full of Autumn atmosphere, you would feel as if it was a scene from fairy tale.

You could also see the view of Gueup Baeteo as you walk.

Taepyeongru Pavilion and Fortress Wall, which can be seen as you walk following the direction on sign board, symbolize the painful history of the Japanese warship, Unyangho that illegally infiltrated the Ganghwa Island on September 20, 1875, and on the next day, it started a battle and attacked Yeongjongjin.

​

The barrel next to Taepyeongru Pavilion looks majestic.

Yeongjongjin Park has endless charm as you will also find an outdoor stage and sculptures wishing for good health. This is a recommended place to visit with your child or family during the weekend.
