About Incheon
Incheon is a very meaningful place for both Korea and Koreans. During the Korean War the city was the site of the Incheon Landing by American forces. Today, Incheon is a metropolitan city with a population of about 2.8 million, politically independent from Seoul. Also, the city serves as a transportation hub by air and sea, with a massive harbour and the world best international airport. Several beautiful islands, such as Yeongjong Island and Ganghwa Island, are also within city limits.
As the status of Incheon becomes more and more important, various national projects are being operated. Incheon will complete the New Songdo City plan in 2015, the most expensive real estate development in Korean history. The world's tallest twin tower building, 151 Incheon tower is under early construction; Korea's current tallest building, Northeast Asia Trade Tower, is already located here. Incheon is still planning to launch independent mini-cities for shopping, housing, and education. With the real estate development, Incheon is also inviting a large number of visitors for 2014 Incheon Asian Games.
