Hidden Gems to Visit When in Incheon, Incheon, South Korea

I was invited to join a “hidden gem” tour in Incheon with the travel/tour platform Playplanet recently. During our day-long trip, we discovered from unknown sites and attractions with fellow Seoul tourists, bloggers and expat to help promote the city and the travel platform.

Our first stop in Incheon was its largest traditional market, called Moraenae Market(모래내시장). This market has been operating since 1982 and has since been the best location to purchase local groceries and goods of all kind. Besides the fresh fish and seafood, you will also find meat vendors and fruit and vegetable stalls. On top of that, locals also love to pick up their Korean side dishes here, as well as any form of housewares.

However, don’t make the mistake and head to the market with a full stomach. You’ll be surprised how many street food stalls and snack vendors there are. You can try anything from traditional Kimbab (filled rice rolls) to sweet rice donuts. The treats are fresh, homemade and super cheap.

When we arrived at Moraenae Market, the Playplanet hosts split us up into teams and gave us fun challenges to complete. We had to try different local snacks, take photos of side dishes and purchase notebooks for the children at the local community center. ......
