Before You Go
- Arrive around lunchtime to eat jjajangmyeon in Chinatown first. Most restaurants open from 11:00 AM, and the lunch rush fills popular spots quickly
- Chinatown and the Open Port street are on opposite sides of a single staircase. The Chinese concession was on the left, the Japanese concession on the right
- Bus 45 from Incheon Station to Wolmido runs every 10-15 minutes and takes about 9 minutes. Taxi is around 5,000-6,000 KRW
- Time your arrival at Wolmido for late afternoon. The Ferris wheel view at sunset over the West Sea is the highlight of this route
- Wolmi Theme Park is pay-per-ride, not a single admission. You only pay for rides you actually want to try
