Col. Hank Dodge, U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I commander, led his military and civilian staff on an officer professional development tour to the site of Gen. Douglas MacArthur's bold Incheon Landing. The Incheon Landing on Sept. 15, 1950 is typically credited with turning the Korean War in favor of the Allied forces. Republic of Korea Army Col. (Ret.) Yu Sang-shik, who was an 11 years old Incheon resident during the Incheon Landing, talked to the staff about the historical significance of the landing and his impressions of it as a child.

Gold medallist China's Yin Junhua (L) and bronze medallist Vietnam's Luu Thi Duyen (C) speak with India's Laishram Sarita Devi (R) after Devi refused to accept the bronze medal during the women's lightweight (57-60kg) boxing medal ceremony of the 2014 Asian Games at the Seonhak Gymnasium in Incheon on October 1, 2014. Sarita Devi sensationally refused to accept her bronze medal in a row over judging standards. Devi's highly controversial defeat to South Korea's Park Ji-Na on September 30 had caused chaotic scenes with her husband scuffling with security. During the ceremony on October 1 Devi burst into tears as she walked to the podium and refused to accept her bronze medal. After the other medals had been awarded, Devi stepped off the podium, took the bronze from the official and went to shake silver medallist Park's hand. As Park gave a traditional Korean bow, Devi put the bronze round the bemused fighter's neck. AFP PHOTO/ INDRANIL MUKHERJEE
A small Chinese garden just outside Incheon's Chinatown. A rare opportunity to look at Chinese gardening in Korea.
Prior to passing through Security....this is the departures level. There are four security gates on the left and then on the right (not in the picture) are all the ticketing counters. I found out that Asiana has a ton of ticketing counters! Travel Class...Business Class, First Class...Travel Class was the furthest away from the side of the airport that I came in at from the subway.
Tons of restaurants and Chinese goods shops.
From the Incheon Chinatown website:
This complex was built by Chinese people in 1925. At present, there are many Chinese restaurants run by Chinese immigrants.
Small groups of Qing homes built in the 1930s still remain presenting an evocative image of that time.
From The Cultural Heritage Administration:
This building, with large pillar-like poles flanking the entrance, was constructed in 1924 in the simplified form of the then popular eclectic style.
It does not have the characteristic round dome-like roof, however.
It was built with red bricks and has a concrete basement.
Granite was used only along the lower part while the upper part was done with cement mortar in a stone-bolck pattern.
At that time, most public office buildings were built in such a way, though planes and other details varied.
Part of the roof was rebuilt after it was damaged during the Korean War.
