Located at the southern tip of Kyonggi Province, the city is formed with agricultural area of low hill and plain. From the ancient history, the city is well known for its production of rice and hot springs. Also famous for its creamy-colored peaches, which are exceptionally large and sweet. Ichon City's artisans produce world-famous ceramic products from the city's rich soil, continuing a proud tradition which has endured for over a thousand years.....

"Horses are to be raised on Cheju Island; ceramic artists are to be raised in Ichon". Ichon ceramics are appreciated by connoisseurs all over the world. Koryo celadon is renowned for its distinctive jade green color, while Chosun white porcelain is elegant yet simple. Both Koryo and Chosun ceramics are symbols of Korean culture which have gained an international reputation.

We just had the greatest cold noodle (mulnaengmyon) dish in that restaurant behind us. The place was packed with locals so we had a bit of a wait. We were seated just about communal style because the tables were set sooo very close together.
Anyway, soon as we got seated, the usual cabbage kimchee arrived and then a whole dish of sliced steamed side of pork. These two alone were just so delicious I could just eat them forever....Then the noodle dish arrived and heaven here I come!!!!
