Incheon:
Incheon is a metropolitan city and a major seaport on the west coast of South Korea, near Seoul. It is also the home for Korea's new international airport built on Yeongjong Island, which is expected to become a major transportation hub in Northeast Asia. Off the coast are numerous islands, some still uninhabited. Many people who live in Incheon make the arduous trek to Seoul each day. Conversely, many Seoulites flock here on the weekends to enjoy fresh fish and visit the islands.
The city has a nice waterfront area with amusement rides, sushi shops, stores and ferries, as well as a very accessible Chinatown right opposite the Line 1 Incheon terminus.
Incheon is regarded as part of the greater Seoul metropolitan area due to part of it bordering the capital, and the fact that the Seoul Metropolitan Subway and the Incheon Subway systems are linked. Incheon is, however, a major city in its own right and is a separate jurisdiction from Seoul.
