General presentation
Incheon et Ganghwa
Historical port, new town and island rich in remains connect the Korean capital to the Yellow Sea.
The discovery of Incheon and Ganghwa is centred around Chinatown in Incheon, Songdo Central Park and Dolmens in Ganghwa. The stay thus alternates between the big city, the coastline, the heritage and the island landscapes, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 6 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Chinatown d'Incheon
The Chinatown d'Incheon developed after the port opened at the end of the 19th century. Colourful doors, restaurants, stairs and buildings linked to foreign concessions tell a more complex maritime and migratory history than the only local specialty of jjajangmyeon.
Nature and landscape
Songdo Central Park
Songdo Central Park organizes a long space of water, walks and lawns in the middle of the towers of the new city. Boats, bridges and observatories allow to read this planned urbanization, particularly graphic when the facades light up in the evening.
Place indismissible
Dolmens de Ganghwa
The dolmens of Ganghwa bear witness to the prehistoric societies that occupied the island well before its military and religious role. Several ensembles are spread out in the countryside; the Bugeun-ri site offers an accessible approach, complemented by the neighbouring historical museum.
