Songdo in Incheon was underwater about a decade ago until a reclamation project in 2003 created a modern city designed for a free economic zone modeled after Dubai, Shanghai and Singapore. Today, a canal bisects the city, running along ultra-modern skyscrapers. The city becomes even more attractive at night, glowing from lit up buildings and street lamps. These are some of the best places to enjoy the city at night.
◆ G-Tower Observatory
To get to G-Tower, visitors can take the subway to Central Park Station on the Incheon Subway No. 1 Line and then take exit No. 4. They need to show their identification at the gate to reach the observatory on the 29th floor where they can enjoy the panoramic view of Songdo and the West Sea. The observatory closes at 7 p.m.
If time allows, visitors may visit the 33rd floor, where exhibition facilities opened on March 24, for a glimpse of the Incheon Free Economic Zone. Only 500 m away from G-Tower, OceanScope is the perfect place to watch the sunset over the West Sea and the Incheon Bridge.

◆ Songdo Central Park
Next to G-Tower is Songdo Central Park, a lake park created using seawater. Situated between the business and residential areas, the park is a great place to escape the busy city life. When the sun starts to dip, lamps are lit one by one to create a romantic ambience. The best way to enjoy the night view is by taking a water taxi. The 25-minute trip provides a leisurely cruise down the seawater canal that flows through the park.

◆ Tri-Bowl Complex
Tri-Bowl is another landmark of Songdo that is worth a visit. Without pillars inside, this UFO-shaped structure features three deep bowls representing the sky, sea and earth. The building houses various exhibition and performance halls, and is a great place to enjoy the glamorous view of Songdo at night.

◆ Canal Walk
At Canal Walk visitors can warm up with hot drinks while taking in the nocturnal scenery. European-style buildings stand according to the themes of spring, summer, fall and winter along the central waterway. A mall there has plenty to offer, including shopping and a range of fountains situated along the waterway.
