Special Korean History Education in Incheon 1 Day Experience Tour Incheon is the largest city in the West coast of Korea with a population of over 3 million people, which is located whithin an hour’s distance from the capital, and has rich history and culture. Incheon’s dolmens were designated as an UNESCO World Heritage and it was also the first city in Korea to have opened up its doors to the world in 1883. Incheon is Korea's first open port and at the center of modern history. In 1883, when Jemulpo Port was opened, Japanese style streets were established starting from the Qing - Japanese Concession area Boundary Stairs climbing to Jayu Park near Jung-gu Office toward the direction to Sinpo International Market.

In this relaxed street, there are many hidden spots that seem scenes from photos taken long ago. Let’s take a stroll around these historical and cultural places that capture moments from time. Incheon Station is the last station of Gyeongin Railroad, Korea's first ever railroad, and it indeed is a piece of history itself. At present, it is the last station of Gyeongin Line and Suin Line and the starting spot for the journey to Jung-gu, Incheon; the station is visited by many people. Incheon Station is the final stop on the Gyeongin Line and Suin Line, but it is also the starting point for another journey. When you get off at the Incheon Station, you can easily access many areas of Incheon including Wolmido Island, China Town, Fairy tale Village, Jayu Park and Incheon Port. Since a one day trip between Incheon and Seoul is possible, the station is visited by many people during weekends. Incheon Art Platform Various Cultural Experiences! Complex Art Space! Incheon Art Platform is a part of the revitalization business initiative of old city; it is a complex cultural and art space developed on the site of a modern style building that was purchased. A place created for regional artists and writers, it is indeed the “sea for inspirations” where they all work to come up with new creative ideas. Thirteen buildings that are used for various purposes – art craft studio, museum, training center, a gallery and performance center – present a unique atmosphere as they are filled with artistic mood. Due to this reason, Incheon Art Platform is a popular space for those visitors who want to take memorable photographs. The place has even become more famous as it was the shooting location for tvN drama “Goblin” that gained great popularity in early 2017. Incheon Open Port Modern Architect A place where you can see existing forms of modern architecture as well as types of modern architecture that no longer exist Tangible Cultural Asset No. 50 Incheon Modern Architect was built on wooden truss and its rooftop was built with Japanese roof tiles, which creates a somewhat exotic look. One can come across various styles of architecture such as buildings from early modern times, landscapes of the Former Concession district and lost modern architectures. Incheon Modern Architect is a place that displays the landscapes of Incheon after the opening of the port; one can get an insight into how Incheon looked then by going through the precious data kept in the gallery. Incheon Open Port Museum Modern Legacy of Incheon Open Port Area Tangible Cultural Asset No. 7 Incheon Open Port Museum is a remodeling of former Japan #1 Bank building, capturing every historic part of Incheon’s port opening. It consists of four always-on galleries, a storage room for artifacts, a curator room and convenience facilities; there are 669 relic items in 321 types that were derived between the period after the opening of the port in 1883 and 1910 when Japanese colonial rule started. Incheon Open Port Museum, which captures the essence of the history of the port opening of Incheon, is a museum where one can study every facet of modern Incheon since the opening of the port as well as various aspects of modern culture that were introduced during the opening port period in Incheon. The 1st Exhibition Hall depicts the opening of the port and features modern relics, and one can view the history of the Gyeongin Railroad and Korea’s railroad history in the 2nd Exhibition Hall. In the 3rd Exhibition Hall, one can experience the scenery from the period during Incheon’s port opening, and the 4th Exhibition Hall recapitulates the history of the transition period of Incheon and its financial institutions. Jung-gu District Office Indirect Experience to the Open Port Period Registered cultural assets No. 249 After the opening of the port, Japan first built a consulate to protect Japanese people in the former Concession District. Japan’s consulate was opened on October 31, 1883, earlier than any other institution, in the current Jung-gu District office area. After the Resident-General was constructed in 1906, the place was used as the office. In 1910, just after Japanese Government-General of Korea Building was constructed, the office was used as the Incheonbu Government Office Building. After the restoration of independence, the place was used as Incheon City Hall, but since 1985, the office has been used as Jung-gu District Office. Incheon Jung-gu District Office was actually a western style two story wooden building during the open port period. The construction materials including the wood were all imported from Japan; it was newly constructed as a two story building in 1933 and as a three story building in 1964. Overall, the building showcases the special features of the modern construction style of the 1930’s. The scratchy style that constitutes the exterior part is something not easy to see these days; it is reminiscent of old times, retaining historical and architectural value.You can witness the street of modern open port, as if you’ve entered into a traditional play. The surroundings offer you various and interesting sites that are entertaining and engaging such as Incheon Open Port Museum, Incheon Open Port Architect and Incheon Art Platform. Jayu Park Romantic Trip in Each of the Four Seasons After the port was opened in 1888, Jayu Park was managed and administered by the foreigners’ settlement cooperation, which gave it the name “Gakguk(All Countries) Park”. When the settlement of the foreigners was abolished and the park’s administration rights were transferred to Incheon Bureau as Japan took control, the park started to be called Seo(West) Park in 1914. After the restoration of independence in 1945, the park was called Manguk Park. From October 3, 1957 when the statue of General MacArthur, who led the Battle of Incheon, was erected in the park, the park finally got its present day name of Jayu Park. The entire Eungbongsan Mountain is called Jayu Park. It preserves various heritages such as the Korea – US 100 years of Friendship Tower, Nature Conservation Tower, Memorial Tower for Cherishing the Souls of Patriots, and Seokjeongru. When you climb up Seokjeongru, you can see the Port of Incheon as well as Wolmisan Mountain Bukseongpogu port all at once. Harbor Park Hotel (하버파크호텔) Located within 40 minutes of the Incheon International Airport in downtown Incheon, Harbor Park Hotel is a themed hotel with a panoramic view of Incheon’s Chinatown to the west and the beautiful ocean to the east. The hotel caters largely to business guests and is equipped with a grand ballroom that seats 500, a meeting room with state-of-the-art facilities, and an international business lounge.

The hotel’s buffet-style restaurant serves dishes demonstrating the refined sensibilities of its world-class cooks and each dish is as artistic as it is delicious. At the Sky Lounge, guests can further enjoy the good life by listening to live music and gazing out over the ocean. Jemulpo Club(Gurakbu) A spot for exchanging modern culture Tangible Cultural Asset No. 17 Jemulpo Gurakbu used to be a social community building that was built in 1883 after Incheon port was opened; it was a place where foreigners from the U.S., England, Germany, France and Netherlands that lived around Jemulpo, Incheon came to build relationships and to interact with one another. The building, which was built in 1901, is a two story building made of bricks; the rooftop is covered by steel, and inside the building, there are various facilities including a library and social community room. After 1914, the building was used for the Japan Veterans’ Association; since the restoration of Independence, the place was used as the commissioned officers’ club for the U.S. army. From 1953 to 1990, the place served as Incheon Metropolitan City Museum. From 1990 to 2006, the place was used as Incheon Cultural Center; it was redeveloped as Jemulpo Gurakbu in 2007. Since 2007, the newly opened Jemulpo Gurakbu has served diverse roles as a place of international cultural exchange and the location of Incheon Global Culture Exchange Festival with former member countries like England, Italy, Russia and Germany, as well as the portal for cultural exchange among children, teenagers and general residents who are interested in diverse cultures.

Incheon Art Platform is located in Haean-dong of Incheon known for its well-preserved architectural heritage sites and buildings that display both ancient and modern architecture. The complex was established through remodeling buildings constructed in the 1930s and 1940s, and by revamping such landmark buildings as Nippon Yusen Kaisah (Cultural Property No. 248) from the days when Korea first opened its doors to the outside world. The 13 buildings, including studios, library, training center, exhibition and performance halls, that make up Art Platform are expected to develop into a huge street museum in the future, thereby preserving the historical establishments, while displaying the modern interpretation of the past. As the Incheon Port was opened in 1883, this is where one could feel the rich history and culture accumulated over 126 years. Formerly used by the Japanese consulate, the Jung-gu Office, the Incheon branch of Japan's 1st, 18th and 58th Bank and other modern historical architecture can be found intact here. Also, it keeps the historical trace like Former Japan Mail and Shipping Inc., Incheon Art Platform, Jemulpo Gurakbu, and others for visitors to see and listen at the Incheon Gaehangjang (Open Port Area). Jemulpo Club was established in 1901 to be used as the venue for foreigners such as American, English, German, French, Russian and a small minority of Chinese and Japanese all living in Incheon to build up friendships before opening the port. The two-story brick building was comprised of a library room, pool table, tennis court and others facilities. The site was used as Incheon Museum from 1953 to 1990 and Incheon Cultural Center from 1990 to 2006. In 2007, the name was changed to Jemulpo Gurakbu. It now offers a site for experiencing modern culture interactions. Jayu Park, or park of Freedom, has held its name ever since October 3, 1957 when a statue of General McArthur, who led the Incheon Amphibious Landing Operation during the Korean War, was erected at the summit of Mt. Eungbongsan. The park offers spectacular views of downtown Incheon and its surrounding mountains, the port, and the sea. The first western style park in Korea. During April, cherry trees are in full bloom. The Port of Incheon and Wolmido may be seen from the peak of Jayu Park. 3. Incheon Chinatown + Free lunch time Korea's modernization started in Incheon, the biggest port on the country's west coast. Let's visit Incheon Open Port Trail. Pai-loo is a traditional Chinese gate that is set up at the entrance of towns. There are three pai-loos in the Town. Incheon's Chinatown came into being with the opening of Incheon Port in 1883 and Incheon's designation as an extraterritoriality of the Ching Dynasty in the following year. In the past, the area held many stores trading goods imported from China, but currently most Chinese businesses in the area are restaurants. Today, the residents of Chinatown are mostly 2nd or 3rd generation Chinese, descendents of the early Chinese settlers. The area harbors many of the flavors of China, while the traditional culture of the first generation are preserved. Let’s take jajangmyeon, if you feel hungry. All restaurants in the Town prepare their own jajangmyeon: home-made sauce noodle; vegetables and bean noodle without meat; white noodle; dry noodle; and more. It might be a big reward to take jajangmyeon at a place where its history began. 4. Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village The opening of the Incheon Port in 1883 led to the start of many foreigners coming into the area for settlement. Soon, it became a rich village and many young people gradually moved out, leaving the village in a state of stagnant. As such, a renovation project was brought upon to improve development of the village by painting and decorating classic fairy tales all around. Songwoldong Donghwa Village is literally “donghwa,” a fairy-tales town. The whole town is full of themes from fairy-tales. A big rainbow-board reads “Songwoldong Donghwa Village” welcomes visitors at the entrance. Take the left-side alley, where the village begins. Numerous main characters in fairy tales are waiting you in murals, sculptures, and photo zones. While walking through the village recalling the titles, main characters, and story-lines, visitors are fascinated by the village. 5. Hanmi Bookstore Connecting past and present, people and culture / Baedari Bookstall Street For the town name, Baedari, some say it originated from a fact that the village is where ships are brought. Others say it came from a bridge in the town that brought boats. Anyway since the opening of a harbor at Jemulpo beach in 1883, people gathered to form a town, Baedari. *Kim Shin visits this book shop frequently and it is aslo the place where Samshin (Birth Grandmother, played by Lee El) warned him about Ji Eun Tak’s fate (Episode 9). 6. Songhyeon Park Situated in Songhyeon, which houses Inchoen's first tap water facility, this park has a water playground, artificial waterfall, pond, inline skating rink and more.

Meanwhile, Father Wangrando returned to his country and Father Joma succeedingly assigned to Joseon arriving at Ganghwa in 1896, then he evangelized Kim Maga (Kim Hui jun) in Ganghwaeup, and also opened Yeonghwawon, a nursery house, to take care of many patients in means of western medical techniques. This church building still remains there which was built in a conventional architecture of Korea in 1900. *Yongheunggung Palace (용흥궁) : Yongheunggung Palace is where King Cheoljong (a Joseon Dynasty ruler who reigned from 1849 to 1863) used to live before his ascension to throne. The chief of Ganghwa County, Jeong Gi-se, enlarged the original residence and named it Yongheunggung (meaning palace of the rising dragon) in the 4th year of King Cheoljong’s reign. Its architectural features include a paljak (Korean traditional half-hipped roof) and supporting columns rendered in Jusimpo style, the column brackets placed only on top of the columns. The palace was built in the tradition of dwelling houses such as the Yeongyeongdang and Nakseonjae houses in Changdeokgung Palace, so the palace buildings give off a simple and plain atmosphere. Within the precincts of the palace are a memorial stone and a monument house indicating that the palace used to be the old home of King Cheoljong. *Goryeogung Palace Site : Goryeogung Palace Site on Ganghwado Island is the site of the royal palace where the people of the Goryeo Dynasty (918-1392) resisted the Mongolian invasion for 39 years. In the 19th year of his reign, King Gojong moved the capital to Ganghwa on account of its natural and strategic advantages. During the Byeongjahoran (Chinese invasion of Korea) in 1637, the palace was lost by force to the Qing dynasty of China. Later, Joseon Dynasty palace building and Ganghwa Yusubu (Ganghwa governor’s office) buildings existed in the Goryeo palace site but were destroyed by the French army during the Byeonginyangyo (French Campaign against Korea). Nowadays, the only structures that remain are the Dongheon main office (built in 1638) and Ibangcheong administration office (built in 1654). The palace and its subsidiary buildings were restored in 1977. It has historical lessons of the spirit of independence and overcoming national crisis. 6. 14:00~14:30 Café house: 1 free drink (coffee, beverage) With sweet desserts and enough caffeine to clear one’s head, cafés are a must!
