Jayu Park
Jayu Park ('Freedom Park') is Korea's oldest Western-style park, established in the 1880s, sitting on a hilltop with views over Incheon Harbor and notable for its statue of General Douglas MacArthur, commemorating the 1950 Incheon Landing during the Korean War that turned the tide of the conflict. The elevated position and older trees give it a different character from the bustling streets below.
It's an easy uphill add-on to a Chinatown and open-port district walk, offering both harbor views and a direct connection to one of the pivotal events of the Korean War.
