What are they?

These are two of the biggest attractions in Incheon and is what many people think of when they hear about the city. Songwol-Dong Fairy Tale Village takes you back to your childhood as you walk through different fairytales and folk stories from both America and Korea. You can see many Disney characters along the street as well as Korean characters that children here grew up with. This place is famous for being a great place to take pictures and just wander around.  

Sinpo International Market is over 100 years old and it is widely known for its famous Dakgangjeong. Dakgangjeong is sweet and spicy fried chicken that many also call hot lava due to the spice. You can also get normal fried chicken here too. The market is called an international market because of the people who come to it and how the market got started. There may not be a lot of international items here to buy but you can find a variety of foreigners shopping here.
