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.
