Jayu Park

A hilltop park in central Incheon regarded as the first modern Western-style park in Korea, laid out in the 1880s in the city's international open-port settlement. The name means freedom park, and it holds a prominent statue of the general who led the wartime Incheon landing, along with monuments marking a centenary of Korean-American ties. Its wooded paths and pavilions overlook the harbor and the historic quarter below, and in spring its cherry trees draw crowds. The park adjoins the old foreign-concession streets and Chinatown.
