# Incheon

    This article is about the city. For its airport, see Incheon International Airport
Incheon (Hangul: 인천, Hanja: 仁川, formerly romanized as Inchon) is a city in South Korea on the coast directly bordering the west of Seoul. It is a rapidly expanding centre for new urban development. Several beautiful islands, such as Yeongjong Island and Ganghwa Island, are also within city limits.
Most foreign travelers arrive in South Korea at Incheon International Airport and Incheon Port International Passenger Terminal.

## Understand

Incheon is a historically and economically significant place for Koreans. During the Korean War, the city was the site of the Incheon Landing by American forces. In 2016, Incheon became the third most populous city in the country after Seoul and Busan, with 3 million people, of whom about 60,000 are foreigners.
The city serves as a transportation hub by air and sea, with a massive harbor and a major international airport.
The status of the area is set to increase as various national projects are in development here. The New Songdo City plan, the most expensive real estate development in Korean history, is in progress. One of the world's tallest twin tower buildings, 151 Incheon Tower, is under early construction and one of Korea's tallest buildings, the Northeast Asia Trade Tower, is already finished. It is planned to launch further independent mini-cities for shopping, housing, and education. It received a lot of visitors for the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. Despite these developments, the Songdo district of Incheon is unfinished and not yet permitted for full habitation.
Famous places within Incheon Metropolitan City include Wolmido Island, the Chinatown, and the opening of the Woncheon Stream, Sorae Port and Incheon Grand Park in the southeastern region, Eulwangni Beach, Wangsan Beach, many islands, Songdo International City and Cheongna Lake Park.
However, Incheon Metropolitan City does not have a good place to look around various areas. Incheon is caused by a wide city area. However, there are no major difficulties because major tourist attractions are concentrated in Wondocheong Station and Ganghwa Island, while Incheon Grand Park, Sorae Port and the island are separate from those in Wondoche, Ganghwa Island and Yeongjong Island. And with the opening of city railroads and wide-area railroads in Incheon, travel between regions is also very convenient compared to other regions except Seoul.
And the easy thing to overlook is that the total area of Incheon metropolitan city is 1,062 km², much larger than the Seoul Metropolitan Government (605 km²), followed by Ulsan city (1,057 km²) among metropolitan cities. In addition, as it is long and divided into several islands, it takes a long time to travel around Incheon on public transportation.

### Climate

Incheon is sometimes affected by yellow dust from the Mongolian desert region. Daylight hours range from 05:15 - 19:45 in the summer, and 07:45 - 17:15 in the winter.
The annual average temperature is about 12°C (54°F). Incheon experiences a mild spring (around 14°C) and warm summer (averaging 24°C), while winter temperatures can dip to around -6°C in January.

### History

Incheon, a major port city in South Korea, has a rich and diverse history that spans centuries. Its strategic location on the west coast, close to Seoul and the Yellow Sea, has made it a key gateway for trade, cultural exchange, and military activity throughout Korean history.

#### Early history

Incheon’s history dates back to ancient times. It was part of the Mahan Confederacy during the Three Kingdoms period (1st century BCE - 7th century CE), which later became part of Goguryeo and Baekje, two of the Three Kingdoms of Korea. The area was originally called "Michuhol" but was renamed "Inju" during the Goryeo Dynasty(918–1392).

#### Goryeo and Joseon Periods

During the Goryeo and Joseon Dynasties, Incheon was not as prominent as other major cities like Seoul or Kaesong, but it remained an important regional center due to its proximity to the capital. In the Joseon period (1392–1897), the city developed further, with coastal defense systems and trade routes that connected Korea to China and Japan.

#### Opening of Incheon Port

In 1883, Incheon’s port was officially opened to foreign trade, marking a significant turning point in its development. The port quickly became a center of international commerce and diplomacy, particularly with Japan and Western powers. This period also saw the influx of foreign settlers and the establishment of foreign concessions, contributing to the city’s growth and modernization. The Korean War and the Battle of Incheon: One of the most significant events in Incheon's history occurred during the Korean War (1950–1953). In 1950, the United Nations, led by General Douglas MacArthur, launched a surprise amphibious assault known as the Incheon Landing or Battle of Incheon. The success of this operation turned the tide of the war in favor of South Korea and the UN forces, allowing them to recapture Seoul and push back the North Korean army.

#### Modern development

In the decades following the Korean War, Incheon underwent rapid industrialization and urban development. It has since become one of Korea’s leading cities in terms of industry, trade, and innovation. The development of Incheon International Airport, which opened in 2001, further cemented its role as a global hub for transportation and logistics.
Today, Incheon is a vibrant, modern city with a population of nearly 3 million. It is known for its free economic zones, advanced infrastructure, and international business hubs like Songdo, a smart city designed to attract global companies and investors. Incheon’s historical significance, combined with its modern economic growth, makes it an important city both in South Korea and on the global stage.
