Located near Seoul on South Korea’s west coast is the city of Incheon. This third largest city in the country boasts a history dating back to the Neolithic period. Getting to the city is quite easy as it contains its own airport; as well there is a direct subway ride from Seoul which helps business travelers reach their Incheon hotels. While EasyToBook.com offers a variety of discount hotels in Incheon for leisure travelers, the upcoming 2009 Global Fair and Festival may cause many of them to book early.
Bupyeong Station, the subway hub, is also a great place for shopping. Underground are stores selling women’s clothing and cell phones, while aboveground features a variety of restaurants and further shops. Jayu Park features a statue of General MacArthur prominently displayed as a memorial to relations with the U.S. Military historians will enjoy taking a trip to Wolmido, the location of Green Beach, where MacArthur invaded the country, and Incheon Landing Operation Memorial Hall, with its small museum of military items and history.
