Incheon No1. Shopping Downtown < Guwol-dong >
- Department stores, cinemas, restaurants, drinks and everything
When I meet my friends, I go to Guwol-dong and the front area of Bupyeong subway station. It's because these two areas are the representative downtown in Incheon. Especially in Guwol-dong, there are three department stores and three multiplex theaters, so lots of Incheon citizens gather here for shopping and date. Between the Lotte Department Store and Shinsegae Department Store is Rodeo Street where many cafes, restaurants, pubs are located , so many young people gather here , and in the evenings on weekends, every pub and bar is crowded, so it's hard to get a seat.

- Korean bars are usually open from 5 pm to 4 am, so you can drink until dawn.
