- wang2383Longjing, Taichung72,229 contributionsTravelling in the big and small streets of Incheon Chuan Street, you can feel the atmosphere of Korean Chinese style. Since the official opening of Incheon Harbour in 1883, the Qing Dynasty established the rental border here in 1884 and enjoys extraditional rights. Most of the stores used to sell imported Chinese goods, but now there are almost only Chinese cuisine stores left. Most of the Chinese currently living here are descendants of the Chinese who migrated to Korea in the same year. There are also many Chinese restaurants here, especially the many super-bags. In Incheon, you can visit the Bakery Museum, the Chinese Museum of History, the Korean Chinese Museum of Culture, as well as a variety of Chinese representative foods such as moon cakes, Chinese cakes and zucchini.Visited November 2024Traveled as a coupleWritten December 22, 2024

Visiting Incheon Chinatown on Lunar New Year’s Day wasn’t the best idea as the area was packed with visitors. Other than the Chinese gate and the high concentration of Chinese restaurants, the area really isn’t much of an attraction. The constant traffic along the narrow streets (can’t understand why anyone would willingly drive through those streets) is just stressful to deal with and the Chinese restaurants sell the same Koreanized menu found at any other Chinese restaurants but at inflated prices.

I visited Chinatown with a friend from another area with the intention of introducing him to Incheon. It was great to be able to taste a variety of Chinese food! I also recommend taking the Wolmi Sea Train near Chinatown.

This is the only officially designated Chinatown in Korea. Incheon has long been and still is the country's window to the world. The Chinatown, with its proximity to the port area, marks the long history of the Chinese diaspora. It is still a lively neighborhood with many restaurants of Chinese characteristics. Popular among locals, it is quite an interesting place to explore.

Nice fairytale land, almost all corners of the street are themed, you can go around the whole area take photos for 2-3hrs.

you no longer can arrive Chinatown via Incheon Suwbway Train Station, as it has closed. You can't use line one or Singpu line (yellow colored line). You have to start walked around 22 min from Dongincheon subway train station.

Chinatown in Incheon is a good destination for the food lover! You can find a lot of restaurants and interesting eateries here. I personally loved the egg tart place in Chinatown.
Transportation: You can just take the Line 1 subway in Seoul Station and then get off at the last station which is Incheon. There's only one exit at Incheon station. Upon exit, you will see Chinatown! :)

What is the best way to go to Chinatown from Incheon airport?
Written September 18, 2019
Taxi is quickest, and it will probably cost around 50,000 won (~45 USD) and take about 40 minutes, depending on traffic.
If you want to take the scenic route, you can board the 306 bus from outside the arrivals hall at Terminal 1--it will take you to Dong Incheon Station, which is about a 52 minute ride across the northern bridge connecting the airport island to the mainland. At Dong Incheon Station, you are almost at the end of Line 1, which ends at Chinatown. Hop on the train for two stops, come out of Exit 1, and there you are! Chinatown is across the street. Total cost: ~2,500 won.
Written February 4, 2020
No, no KTX nearby, but you can take the Incheon 1 Metro Line from the terminus at Incheon (right across the street from the gates to Chinatown) and go to Seoul Station and catch the KTX there, It takes about 70-75 minutes.

Hi all, i intend to visit Incheon chinatown on the last day in Korea, will be coming down from Seoul. May i know how do i get to the airport from here? My flight will be at 11pm. Thank you.
Written July 15, 2018
I’m so sorry no one answered your question on time! But I will answer it just in case other people have the same question. You can take a cab to the airport, it will take around 30,000won. Or you can take the public bus number 307 from Chinatown to “서부공단입구”, and then transfer to bus number 111 and get off at Incheon Airport floor 3.

We are transitiing overnight and staying at the airport hotel we arrive about 5pm what would Yu suggest
Written July 19, 2017
Bryan M is right. Venturing out to Seoul, which is 1 hour bus or taxi ride away, to spend your layover time is a bit difficult. There is a much better and safer way to utilize your layover time though. You can try "Incheon Airport Culture Tour Program" which is free guided tour led by English speaking guide for transit passengers. You can choose 1 hour, 2 hour, 3 hour, 4 hour, or 5 hour tour depending on the time of the day and how many hours you can spend for the tour. Just Google it by keying in keywords "ICN free transit tour", and clicking the search result "Free transit tour" which usually shows up on or near top. The site is Incheon Airport site. There, you can click "Free Transit Tour" tab, and look through the choices, and join the tour(s) of your choice. Details on reserving and joining these tours shown on the website. Since these guided tours are starting from the airport and ending at the airport you don't have to face uncertainties and anxieties explained by Bryan M.
Enjoy your free cultural tour aboard a comfortable tour bus!

Hi, we are visiting by cruise ship in march, thinking of staying in Incheon, are there hop on hop off buses or a little tourist train that takes you round the city ?
Written January 31, 2017
Yes, you can take "Incheon City Bus Tour". You can buy the ticket at Tourist Information Center or from the Driver. It's Hop On Hop Off Bus which run around Incheon (Chinatown - Wolmido - Songdo Areas).
Will you stay over night at Incheon too? I would like to reccommend you to stay at "Gyeongwonjae Ambassador Hotel". It's very good hotel in Hanok Style (Korean Traditional House)... but have modern facitities. It's located in Songdo Area and not too far from Subway Station - Central Park (Incheon 1 Line). It's also connect with Central Park Songdo, Hanok Village Restaurant, Shopping Centers, etc.
