The starting point for a trip to Korea often begins in Incheon, thanks to the presence of Incheon International Airport, the primary entry point for travelers arriving by air.

 

Incheon has long been a beloved tourist destination, boasting a coastline dotted with 168 islands, a historically significant port that played a pivotal role in Korea's opening to the world in the late 19th century, and a vibrant international city.

 

Not only is Incheon in close proximity to Seoul, the capital of Korea, but it is also easily accessible via various forms of public transportation, including subways, boats, and buses, making it an ideal destination for a day trip.

 

 

 

Among various areas in Incheon, we will focus on soraepogu today.

 

The Sohrae Port Festival, which began in 2001 and is now celebrating its 23rd year, is the representative marine ecology festival in the Seoul metropolitan area.

 

Sohrae Port, known for its abundance of shrimp, crab, and various seafood delicacies, attracts seven million tourists annually.

 

The area offers a variety of attractions, including the Sohrae Wetland Ecological Park, Shrimp Tower, and the Haoreum Lake.
