Incheon

Incheon is a historically and economically significant place for Koreans. During the Korean War, the city was the site of the Incheon Landing by American forces. In 2016, Incheon became the third most populous city in the country after the Seoul Metropolitan Government and Busan Metropolitan Government, with 2,943,069 locals, 59,103 foreigners and 3,002,172. Also, the city serves as a transportation hub by air and sea, with a massive harbor and a major international airport. Several beautiful islands, such as Yeongjong Island and Ganghwa Island, are also within city limits.
The status of the area is set to increase as various national projects are in development here. The New Songdo City plan, the most expensive real estate development in Korean history, is in progress. One of the world's tallest twin tower buildings, 151 Incheon Tower, is under early construction and one of Korea's tallest buildings, the Northeast Asia Trade Tower, is already finished. It is planning to launch further independent mini-cities for shopping, housing, and education. Added to this real estate development, and will also invite a large number of visitors for the 2014 Incheon Asian Games. Despite these developments, the Songdo district of Incheon is unfinished and not yet permitted for full inhabitation,

Climate

Incheon is part of the cold winter cattle climate and is also classified as wet continental climate depending on the classification.Although it is a coastal city, the temperature and precipitation are similar to those in inland areas as only low-level waters are located deep. Temperatures are highest and precipitation is highest in July and August. Incheon is affected in the northwest, the same latitude on the skylines of East Sea coast, the winter temperature is low. Precipitation is relatively small compared to other parts of central South Korea. Ongjin Island area is warmer due to the influence of the sea than Incheon land.

Atmosphere

Incheon is the first to be affected by yellow dust because it is close to the source of yellow dust in the Mongolian desert region, which is riding a strong one-way wind wave. Compared to inland cities where high mountains and hills are heavily distributed, yellow dust is directly affected.

By plane

Incheon International Airport is South Korea's main gateway. The AREX train connects the airport to Gyeyang (20 min), where you can transfer to the Incheon subway line. Alternatively, the limousine bus line (50 min) is always available to go to many places in Incheon, or you can take a taxi (25 min) to get into the city.

By boat

Incheon Port International Ferry Terminal has connections to several cities in China, such as Weihai, Dandong, Qingdao and Tianjin.
The largest operator is now Weidong, but passengers can look at full listings on the port's website (only in Korean). These ferries are similar to miniature cruise lines and provide karaoke rooms, console games, and DVD rentals (private rooms only).
The trip can take as long as 24 hours, so if you have an economy ticket, request a sleeper bunk for a comfortable trip. If they are all taken, however, the only other option for an economy ticket is the sleeping deck where everyone will stay like sardines in a can. Arrive at the terminal 2–3 hours before departure to ensure there is availability for the bunks.

By subway

Kyeong-in line called Metropolitan Line 1 links Seoul to Incheon. The line often provides express trains that skip some minor stops between Dong-incheon station and Yongsan station. By using the express trains passengers can save up to 30 minutes depending on where they go and for the same fare.
