Gyeongin Arabat-road that connects the waters off Incheon with the Han River, is the first canal in Korea and is an 18-km water route linking the West Sea and the Han River. A pleasant bicycle road and a park have been built on both sides of the Arabat Road, making it a popular resting place for residents. The Arabat Road bike path is connected to the Han river bike road, which allows you to ride your bike to the West Sea from downtown Seoul.

동화마을
This town is designed to show like fairy tales. The murals here are three-dimensional, so it's a great place to take commemorative pictures with family or lover. There are souvenir shops, experience facility and food shops.
차이나타운
This is the only official Chinatown in South Korea. Incheon's Chinatown has become very clean by carrying out extensive maintenance projects and has become one of the leading tourist areas in Incheon. It has a reputation as the area where jajangmyeon (a noodle dish) originated. Chinatown is full of Chinese restaurants and souvenir shops. Of course, many Chinese people reside there, so Chinese schools are there too. The area is located at the end of Metropolitan Line 1 that directly connects Incheon with Seoul. The main entrance to Chinatown is in front of the Incheon station. The area is very crowded with visitors on weekends, so if you'd like to avoid crowds, go during the week.
월미도
Wolmido was a major harbor in Incheon until Yeonan Budu was developed. However, visitors can still do many things in Wolmido. There is a small park, surrounded by a nature walk road. There are also many seafood restaurants and cafes with a great ocean view. What is more, a small harbor that can bring visitors to several islands is still operating. The Chinatown is just a few minutes away, so tourists usually take two sightseeing courses with Wolmido. The most famous place is an amusement park popular with locals. Wolmido Amusement Park is not a state-of-the-art facility, but disco and pirate ships are famous. It is said that the pirate ship is the scariest of Wolmido because of its loose seat belt. However, there are no known safety problems with the rides.
