This night photograph was taken with incoming night fog in Korea Incheon Songdo International Business District. The Tribowl, one of the landmarks in Songdo seen on left of photograph, and its lit curved profiles provide interesting contrasts to other surrounding high-rise structures. The lights from these structures and street lamps are reflected in the canal during the breezy evening.

This is the traditional commemorative gate known as 仁華門 (Inhwa-mun), one of the main entrance arches to Incheon Chinatown, located in Incheon, South Korea.
Incheon Chinatown was officially established in 1883 following the opening of Incheon Port. It is recognized as the only remaining official Chinatown in South Korea, preserving the legacy of early Chinese immigration to the peninsula. The district maintains a strong architectural and cultural influence from China, with the Inhwa-mun serving as one of its most emblematic structures, marking and symbolizing the historical identity of the area.
The 仁華門 (Inhwa-mun) stands in a prominent spot that provides easy access to the district. It sits next to the 한중문화관 (Korean–Chinese Cultural Center), an institution dedicated to fostering cultural exchange and mutual understanding between Korea and China. The proximity of these two key landmarks—the historic gate and the cultural center—highlights the area’s role as a significant cross-cultural hub.
Today, Incheon Chinatown is a vibrant cultural destination known for its colorful streets, traditional gates, and its blend of Chinese and Korean heritage. Visitors can explore historic buildings, temples, and museums, as well as enjoy regional Chinese-inspired dishes such as jjajangmyeon, which is said to have originated in this very neighborhood. The area also connects to nearby attractions like Jayu Park and the modern Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village, making it a unique intersection of history, culture, and contemporary tourism.

This photograph does not clear things up at all. And simply leaves me with more questions. If anyone out there has been to this location and knows exactly what it is, I would be very interested in hearing from you.
