Neulsolgil Park
- Budget
- Couples
- Families
The Neulsolgil Park can be reached in about 15 minutes on foot from Exit #1 of Nonhyeon Station in Incheon. Parking is free, but as it's popular, parking is not easy. There is a sheep ranch that children love next to the shaded shelter in the spacious park. They do not sell sheep feed, but you can feed them with grass and leaves in the park. It's not a fancy and stylish park, but you can feel the effort that was made to enable you to feel nature as it is.

Jeondeungsa Temple

- History
- Photo
The centuries-old trees on the path leading to Jeondeungsa Temple create cool and refreshing shade in the summer, but their true beauty is revealed in autumn when the leaves change colour. Since the temple is surrounded by mountain fortress walls, the fortress gate doubles as the temple gate, which is highly unusual.
What the temple lacks in size, it makes up for in an amazing atmosphere. If you’re a nature lover, be sure to visit and take a stroll around Jeondeungsa Temple.
Location: 37-41 Jeondeungsa-ro, Gilsang-myeon, Ganghwa-gun, Incheon, South Korea
Open: Monday–Friday from 8.30 am to 6 pm, Saturday–Sunday 8 am to 6 pm
