Located in Sinpo-dong, Incheon, Sinpo Market dates back to the late 19th century when vendors began selling fresh vegetables to the Japanese, Chinese, and Westerners who settled in the area. Sinpo Market was officially registered as a market in 1970 and now boasts over 140 stores.

An increasing number of tourists and international merchants have visited Incheon by ferries and cruise ships, turning the local market into an international shopping area over the past few decades. The information desk and office at the market even provide a variety of services (translation services, trade and shopping information, etc.) for tourists and merchants from home and abroad.

The most famous item of the market is dakgangjeong, a Korean dish of crispy fried chicken coated in a sweet and spicy sauce. Other popular dishes include yuni jjajang, egg tart, freshwater fish jeon, mandu, and jjolmyeon (chewy noodles).

Gyeongwonjae Ambassador Incheon (경원재 앰배서더 인천)

At first glance, Gyeongwonjae Ambassador may appear somewhat out of place: A classical hanok hotel nestled amidst a forest of cutting-edge skyscrapers. However, this juxtaposition aligns perfectly with its concept, “a walk through time on the Korean peninsula." This unique blend of tradition and modernity has earned Gyeongwonjae not only the distinction of being the first five-star hanok hotel in Korea but also the prestigious “Stars of Korean Tourism" award from the Korea Tourism Organization. Remarkably, it has achieved this claim despite lacking many contemporary hotel amenities such as swimming pools, saunas, and bars.
A stay at Gyeongwonjae offers a unique experience that can only be found in a hanok, a space that encapsulates Korean traditions. The single-story building, with its low eaves and absence of flamboyant dancheong (decorative coloring), exemplifies the aesthetic of unadorned humility that characterizes Korean culture. It harmoniously blends into the surrounding nature. Guests can partake in a traditional tea ceremony followed by a rejuvenating soak in a cypress bathtub filled with water infused with traditional Korean medicinal materials, clearing the mind of clutter and promoting natural healing.
