Overview

  • Step off the train and into a collision of empires. Incheon is known today as a modern transit hub, but beneath its surface lies the dramatic, contested history of Korea's first open port. On this immersive journey, you will trace the footsteps of Qing dynasty merchants, Japanese colonial administrators, and the working-class labourers who birthed a national dish. From the historic harbour to the futuristic skyline of Songdo, discover how a city forced to be a gateway transformed everyone who passed through it—and ultimately transformed itself.
