If you have lived in Incheon for sometime, you are probably familiar with the Neungheodae Festival. This festival is held every fall in Yeonsu-Gu. It is a festival with a lot of history.

Neungheodae was an ancient port located in Ongnyeon-dong, Incheon.

The port was utilized during the Baekjae period, the Three Kingdom Era. Through this dock, Baekje sent envoys to China.

It’s been 1600 years since the first ships left for China. Now the seas where the ships use to sail over, the land has been reclaimed and made into an international city, surrounded by buildings, apartments, and parks.
