Wolmido
월미도
A seaside island now connected to the mainland, with a culture street, an amusement park, seafood restaurants and a viewing platform in Wolmi Park. You can get there on the Wolmi Sea Train.
Wolmido was once a small island off Incheon port, later joined to the mainland through land reclamation. In 1950, it was the starting point of the Incheon Landing, the UN forces' operation during the Korean War. Today, the Wolmido Culture Street on the island's east side runs along the seawall, lined with seafood restaurants, cafés and sashimi shops. By the sea is a small amusement park with the popular 'Disco Pang Pang' ride and a pirate ship. In the evening, you can watch the sunset over the sea and the passing boats. In the center of the island, Wolmi Park has a walking path up to the viewing platform on Wolmi Mountain, overlooking Incheon Port, the Incheon Bridge and the city. The most fun way to get to Wolmido is the Wolmi Sea Train, a driverless monorail sightseeing train departing from a station beside Incheon Station. It makes a loop of about 6 kilometers around the island, with an elevated view of the port and Chinatown. The fare is about 8,000 won, and you can get off and back on at any time. The Wolmido ferry pier also has ferries to Yeongjong Island. The Incheon Landing Operation Memorial Hall lies south of Freedom Park, in the Songdo direction.
