At night, Seoul Land turns into Luna Park decorated with splendid lights.

Songdo Central Park looks quite exotic thanks to Korea’s first seawater canal and green spaces that are surrounded by high-rise buildings. The Trail Garden, the Terrace Garden and the hanok village line the artificial water canal. One can sail along the artificial canal in a water taxi, canoe, or boat. In addition, an observatory in the IFEZ Promotion Center offers an expansive view of Songdo Central Park, Incheondaegyo Bridge and the Songdo International Business District.

This theme park presents the traditional lifestyle and culture of Korea, in a Joseon-era village formed with restored or relocated houses from throughout Korea.

This planned city, built during the reign of King Jeongjo of Joseon with cutting-edge technology and knowledge of that time, is considered the pinnacle of Korean fortress construction.

The Construction Records of Hwaseong Fortress, which documents the entire construction process of the fortress, made the restoration of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress possible, and it was also inscribed as a UNESCO's Memory of the World.

The street in front of Cheongwadae (the Blue House) leads to Cheongwadae Sarangchae, a fountain, Mugunghwa (Rose of Sharon) Hill, Yeonmugwan Hall, Daegogak Pavilion and Yeongbingwan Hall. Thick trees on both sides surround the road, so one can take a walk here while appreciating the beautiful flower beds under the shade of the trees. Seochon Village refers to a village sitting to the west of Gyeongbokgung Palace. Old and new shops and hanok buildings (traditional Korean houses) sit together in harmony.

This urban hanok village was created in 1920s and 1930s as a common people residential complex. Unlike the hanok villages of Bukchon or Seochon, the houses here tend to be smaller and humbler. Today’s Ikseon-dong is a quirky collection of cafes, restaurants and shops, mostly with retro aesthetics, and its popularity spread like a wildfire following the newtro revival among the youths.

Incheon Chinatown was created by Chinese immigrants, so their unique history and culture remain here. Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village near Chinatown is full of unique buildings exuding a fairytale-like ambiance.
