Get in

If you're arriving at Incheon International Airport, follow these simple steps to make your way to the Jamjinnaru ferry terminal. From the Departure terminal on the 3rd floor, head to gate 7 and catch the bus 222. This shuttle bus will take you directly to the ferry terminal, and you can use your T-money card for payment. Another option is bus 306, but you'll need to take a short 10-minute walk from the bus stop to reach the ferry. The ferry operates from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., with departures every 15 to 30 minutes. You'll notice the ferry shuttling between the two ports. Once you arrive at the terminal, head to the building on the right. This is where you'll find the ticket counters. From there, you can walk along the pier to board the ferry. Don't worry about keeping your tickets; they will be collected onboard, and you won't need them for the return trip. The ferry ride itself takes approximately five minutes. When you arrive at the port, you'll find public buses available to take you to various locations on the island. Enjoy your visit!

The first and perhaps most famous Korean dish is Kimchi Jjigae, a spicy stew made from fermented vegetables (most commonly napa cabbage), with sliced pork, tofu, and chilli peppers added for extra kick. It's a comforting yet fiery dish that showcases the depth of Korean flavours.

Bibimbap is another wildly renowned Korean dish which translates directly to 'mixed rice'. It's typically served as a bowl of warm, steamed white rice, topped with sautéed vegetables, sliced meat (often beef or chicken), a fried egg, and chilled gochujang (red pepper paste) sauce that's stirred into the dish just before eating. This versatile meal can be enjoyed with an array of side dishes, making it both hearty and customizable.

Jajangmyeon is a delightful noodle dish starring chewy somen noodles drenched in a savory black bean sauce, typically garnished with julienned cucumber, crispy seaweed, and sesame seeds. While it often features seafood like squid, octopus, or shrimp, there are also vegetarian versions available. This hearty meal is both filling and satisfying, reflecting its Chinese origin while embracing a uniquely Korean twist.
