전등사 대웅전
The Daeungjeon Hall is the main worship hall of Jeondeungsa Temple, located on Ganghwa Island. Designated as Korean Treasure No. 178, this beautifully preserved structure dates back to the mid-Joseon Dynasty (17th century) and is known for its detailed wooden carvings. A distinctive feature is the small, nude female figure carved under one of the corner eaves, which is connected to a popular local legend about a carpenter's revenge.

고려산 진달래 축제
Every April, a festival is held near Mt. Koryo in Ganghwa, where azalea blossoms bloom. It is by far considered the best spring flower festival in Incheon. Although the mountain is rather high at 400 meters above sea level, many people climb the mountain to see azalea flowers. When you climb the mountain, you can enjoy not only azaleas but also various landscapes of Ganghwa. During the festival period, various experiences are available over the weekend.
