Jayu Park
자유공원
Korea's first Western-style park, built in 1888. Its hilltop offers views of Incheon Port and Chinatown and features a bronze statue of General MacArthur.
Jayu Park sits on Eungbongsan Hill. It was built in 1888 by the foreign concessions jointly and was originally named the 'International Park.' It is the first Western-style park in Korea. At the top stands a bronze statue of General MacArthur, commemorating the Incheon Landing Operation, along with a tower marking a century of Korea–US diplomatic relations. The observation deck overlooks Incheon Port, Wolmido and the red roofs of Chinatown, and the cherry blossoms in April are especially beautiful. Admission is free. It takes about 10 minutes on foot from the Chinatown gate, climbing the stairs, and can be combined with Chinatown and Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village for a half-day walking route.
