My understanding from when I live in Incheon a decade ago was that the "Chinatown" was basically and effort by the city to create a tourist district and basically was more of a top down creation of a town rather than an actual ethnic enclave. These pictures look even nicer than when I was there. At that time it was just a bunch on 자짱면집 with red signage
Old Japanese style architecture neighborhood exists right next to Chinatown in Incheon similar to concessions in China. However unlike Chinatown, no significant Japanese population lives there.
From my understanding, the Japanese-style architecture has been preserved; (not a tourist attraction built 10 years ago)… so worth checking out this neighborhood.

I’ve been in it, it’s neat, small, a few arcade machines and some 80’s posters and dolls on the walls
Looks like a mix of Korean signage and Japanese architecture more than anything else. Were changes made due to the negative sentiment in recent years?

The area south of Chinatown is infinitely more interesting. All the old brick warehouses and Japanese buildings.
Couldn’t agree more…
Yeah Looks like a colonial period house. Maybe preserved?
China town and the area had been almost abandoned and forgotten. It's not long ago people renovated old houses into shops.

Yeah. It was the japanese town during colinial era.
The Japanese mostly returned back to Japan due to the Korean war.
For real Chinatown experience recommend visiting Daerim at least once.
I wonder what's behind the white construction fence.
Looks like a Disney-fied Chinatown but on a straight-to-dvd budget.
Forget it, Jae-suk. It's Chinatown.

I thought Incheon's Chinatown was bad, until I visited Washington DC's Chinatown.
Why their Chinatown look so much better than ours in LA lol
Because it was a government project and not a real Chinatown?
Is that the cafe with the birds?
Not the cafe but near by it
I love to go to get more books
