Greetings, and welcome to the '1883 Incheon Open Port' Historical and Cultural Tour! The year '1883' marks a significant milestone when Incheon, the largest port of the Joseon Dynasty, first opened its doors to the world. In the 19th century, Incheon became a hub of global influence, as it was the closest port to Hanyang, the capital city. As a result, it developed a rich tapestry of diverse arts and architecture from various countries, making it Korea's pioneering city in embracing a global culture.
As you look around, you'll notice the large ships docked at the Incheon Inner Port, which was the third port in Korea, following Busan and Wonsan. This port was a significant gateway to Korea's modernization. With an area of about 2.76km², it can accommodate up to 48 ships at once and boasts eight docks handling various goods ranging from steel to grains. The stonework of the Incheon Inner Port, constructed in 1914, is not just a historical artifact, but a symbol of the progress and challenges that came with modernization.
Now, let me introduce you to the Sangsang Platform in Incheon, a monumental project that transformed the largest grain warehouse in Asia (from 1978 to 2016) into a multifunctional cultural hub. This four-story cultural complex, located at the 8th pier, is expected to foster a closer relationship between the sea and the citizens. It demonstrates the city's commitment to revitalizing the inner port and the original city center, not just through the development of a marine cultural zone and a complex platform at Incheon station, but also with the construction of the Incheon tram.
This year, to commemorate the opening of the Sangsang Platform, we're hosting a Chimaek (Chicken Nugget & Beer) Party open to all foreign visitors, residents, and students in Korea. Sponsored by the Incheon Metropolitan City and Incheon Tourism Organization, this event promises not only free chicken and beer – Incheon's specialities – but also a range of activities, performances, and celebrity appearances.
Our official partner, 'Trippose.com,' invites you to immerse yourself in Korean culture with a special package, combining the Chimaek (Chicken Nugget & Beer) Party with a hands-on traditional Korean paper (Hanji) crafting experience led by a master artisan, and a historical tour of Incheon while dressed in traditional Korean Hanbok.
