The Hwaseong Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site was discovered on an island in the tidal plain south of Sihwaho Lake. The island was revealed when seawaters were blocked during a land reclamation project. As the sedimentary layer formed during the Cretaceous period of the Mesozoic Era (dated around 83 million to 85 million years ago) was eroded by weathering, roughly 200 dinosaur eggs in thirty nests were discovered at twelve dig sites. It is anticipated that more fossils will be discovered once a thorough investigation is carried out and more land is reclaimed.
Most dinosaur eggs are oval shaped and dark red. Considering the properties of the fossilized shells, the eggs that have been discovered so far are assumed to belong to four-legged herbivorous dinosaurs with a long neck and tail, and two-legged herbivorous dinosaurs, including the hadrosaur. A wide range of plant fossils were also discovered alongside the fossilized eggs, leading to expectations that the formerly lush environment may yet be restored.

The discovery of the Fossilized Dinosaur Egg Site in Hwaseong has greatly expanded the scope of Korean paleontology; previous paleontological discoveries were exclusively limited to fossilized dinosaur footprints. This significant discovery has attracted many internationally renowned scholars who have visited the site in Hwaseong.

Each restaurant offers a rich, yet distinctly different flavored seafood stew prepared with aromatic vegetables and fresh seafood purchased from the marketplace every morning. The Haemultang Street has become so popular that many people travel the long distance from Seoul just for a satisfying meal of seafood stew.

Designated as a cultural tourism market, Incheon Singi Market is popular among both residents and international tourists. Its charming alleyways and abundance of goods and food attract crowds daily. True to its name—"Singi” meaning “marvelous”—the market offers many unique features, most notably its exclusive currency system, Singi Tongbo. Modeled after traditional Korean brass coins (Yeopjeon), these tokens are used on market premises instead of cash. Each token is worth 500 won and is commonly used at snack stalls and food alleys. These traditional-style coins also intrigue and delight international visitors. The origins of Singi Market are equally fascinating. In the 1970s, women began selling vegetables grown in their kitchen gardens at the foot of Munhaksan Mountain. As more people gathered, the area naturally evolved into a neighborhood alley market.
