Incheon is the third largest city in South Korea. It is situated close to the capital Seoul and has important historical significance. Indeed, this is the place where South Korea and the Allies launched an attack in 1950 to retake the country from the North Koreans. And with success! It was even the rise to get all of Korea under one administration, something we know ultimately failed. Incheon is nice for a day trip to learn more about the Battle of Incheon. But it also has a nice downtown with Chinatown and nice temples, the International Airport can be found here and it has some nice parks where you can take nice walks.
