This 21 km long bridge connecting mainland and airport island, it takes about 20 minutes to pass , with toll gate of 20USD fee. So flagging taxi to and from airport,it's luxurious transportation but extremely expensive. The bridge run in east west direction so it's picturesque of korean sea on clear sky days.Unfortunately, it's foggy and cold freezy day during my visit.

another must visit site to understand one of the most important events of the Korean war. Close to Walmido and China town and a good place to take a walk if you are stuck at immigration which is a ten minute walk away. get off at Incheon station on the Seoul Incheon number 1 line about one hour from downtown Seoul. there are airporter buses that take you to Walmido - the subway ride from the airport is a bit incovenient multiple transferes.
6. Jeondeungsa Temple

JeondeungsaThe oldest temple in this historical region … Jeondeungsa Temple is located on Ganghwa Island, which has been a historically significant place from the time of ancient Joseon (i.e. the birth of the Korean people), until the present day. So naturally, the atmosphere is quite different than other places as you make your way up to the temple. After you get out of your car and start to make your way up the mountain, you’ll notice that it’s totally encircled by a fortress. This is the Samnang Fortress, which was designed to help protect the land from foreign invaders. You should pass through the fortress gate to enter the temple, as these days the entrance to the temple is actually what was once the old fortress gate.

Cool Market to visit if you have time. I would recomend to visit also the underground market in nearby subway stations specially if you are going for summer vacations. There's a famous spice coated fried chicken for 17000won/bucket worth the trip. Sometimes the waiting lines are huge, be aware.

A very romantic place to enjoy characters of different houses. Need to spend at least 2-3 hours to thoroughly enjoy. The up and down hill of the village reminds me of San Francisco. What a joyful walk by evening!
