Why go

Cheong-Il Jogyeji Stairway is a Korean colonial-era heritage stairway in Incheon, marking the historical boundary between the Chinese (cheong) and Japanese (il) settlement districts during the late-Joseon and Korean Empire periods. The stairway has been preserved as a Cultural Heritage and provides direct context for Incheon's role as Korea's first treaty port. For travelers seriously interested in Korean colonial-era international history, the Cheong-Il Stairway is one of the cleaner specialty single picks.
