Incheon claims to host the only Chinatown in Korea. Chinatown is in Incheon due to Incheon being the seaport closest to mainland China, the home of an early Chinese consulate, and an easy destination for Chinese immigrants. Chinatown is hard to miss with its impressive Chinese gates marking the main entrances, as well as the distinctive, complex Chinese characters on many buildings. Chinatown sits in a prime location between Incheon Station and Jayu Park. The Chinese population of this area is said to have peaked at around 10,000 people in the 1940s, but is just a fraction of that size today.

Besides the MacArthur Monument, Jayu park also boasts a monument dedicated to Korean-American cooperation, a small aviary, nice paths, and traditional pavilions. The views over the city are impressive as you can see Wolmi-do, the beaches to the north, and the huge port. The monument is called the Centennial Monument and was constructed in 1982 to commemorate the US-Korea Amity and Trade Treaty of May 22, 1882.
Built in 1888, Jayu Park is considered the first Western-style park in the country.

Additional Info: The island that Full house is located in is called Shin-do or Si-Do island. It is about 10 to 20 minutes taxi ride from Incheon airport and then you have to ride a ferry to Sammock harbour. There you don't have to pay going to the island but instead pay on your way back. When you get off the ferry, ride a bus goingt o full house (its color blue) and you only have to pay 1,000 won. Then you get off and walk 1.5 kilometers to full house (if i were you, rent a bike to full house because it is really a long long long... long walk. Even my korean friend felt like it was an eternity to get there--- and koreans love to walk) In full house, you have to pay 3,000 won to get inside the hosue and tour around. The ferry leves every hour--- 3:30 pm, 4:30 pm and so forth. You then have to walk back again to the bus stop and this time wait for the bus to arrive. Feel free to hitch a ride because the bus comes once in a blue moon. People there are generally friendly but you really have to brush up on your korean language know-how if you want to hitch a ride back to the harbour. In teh harbour you pay to get back to the mainland and then walk a long way again to the bus stop to get back to Incheon airport where you have to transfer to an airport shuttle bus (free of charge). Suggestion is that you come early because what really takes time is waiting for the transportation to come and pick you up to where you want to go.

You will find here the tombs of Korea's most gifted ruler....King Sejong ( 1397-1450 )and his wife Queen Sohon.....
Yeongneung is a typical royal tomb whose structure epitomizes the Joseon Dynasty. As a joint tomb, two gravestones are erected. The twelve sexagenary cycle is inscribed on the statue of a young boy beside the tomb. A stone lantern that guards the tomb has an octagonal roof.
