Introduction

Incheon Chinatown is Korea's largest surviving Chinatown, formed with the late-19th-century port opening and the Qing concession, marked by red-and-yellow gates, a jajangmyeon museum and a Sun Wukong statue. Here you taste the birthplace of Korean-Chinese noodles called jjajangmyeon, sugar pancakes and Chinese sweets; lantern festivals at Lunar New Year and Chuseok are lively. Built on a slope near Freedom Park and Wolmido, it is the most foreign-flavoured stop on the Seoul-Incheon line.
