Inchôn (Incheon)
| Located 28km west of Seoul,
Incheon is the nautical gateway to the nation's capital and the nation's
second largest port with a population of 1.8 million.
Incheon originally developed as a trading port with China and became a famous port-of call for French, German and American ships in the 19th century. It has abundant maritime tourist attractions including many nearby islands. The city also is a key producer of automobiles, steel, furniture and glass. Incheon is connected with neighboring cities by a number of major transportation routes, including expressways, and a subway connection to Seoul. With the completion of the construction of the Incheon International Airport in 2001, the city will become one of North Asia's major hubs. The newly constructed Incheon's own subway will provide a convenient connection to the city center and the Incheon World Cup stadium currently under construction. |
