SONG-DO
1100-1130:
Check-in your stay at
Songdo Hanok Village © Incheon Tourism Organization

Check in and check out one of the most unique accommodations that has
preserved its traditional flair throughout the decades. Hanoks, traditional Korean
houses, retain the original structure and design of family homes, and give off a
warm and homely vibe amongst its wooden beams and rafters.

The juxtaposition of blending the past with the present is intriguing, as the position
and influence of hanoks in Korean architecture still hold firm amidst modern high-rises
and luxury apartments right in the centre of the commercial district.

Getting there: From Incheon Airport, take 6707B bus via Kal Limousine to Song-do
Address: 200 Technopark-ro, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon

1145-1430:
Get moving at Songdo
Central Park
Keeping the momentum as you walk the short distance from
your accommodation to the one and only Songdo Central Park,
which stretches across an area of over 100 acres with greenery
and water. With a variety of activities available, the park sets itself
apart as one of the nation’s best green spaces. It is host to a 1.8km
seawater canal stretching from the east to the west.

We highly recommend you to navigate the area leisurely by renting


a family boat, canoe, SUP (a rafting board you paddle standing up)
or kayak available at the Songdo Komarine East Boat House to make
your way through the waterways. An alternative would be to take the
water taxi from the West Boat House for a picturesque view of the
surrounding skyline. On water or by foot, the park provides a breath
of fresh air right in the middle of the bustling city.

1445-1545:
Head up the G Tower
You definitely can’t miss out on this landmark in Songdo,
easily identifiable by its bold geometric exterior. On the inside,
G-Tower is also famous for having unique floor plans for each
of its 33 stories and being eco-conscious with ample natural
lighting flowing through the glass.

At first glance, it may seem like any other office building, but
make sure to head upstairs to the Sky Garden open to visitors
during the day, from which you’ll get to see Songdo fully from
the high vantage point. If you’re keen to explore and tour around
the area, you can even rent bicycles here.
