Incheon, a city steeped in history and rich in cultural heritage. From its panoramic view towards Chemulpo Bay, Korea to the defensive alliance between England and Japan, this place has witnessed significant events that shaped the region. Chemulpo, once known as the principal treaty port, played a crucial role during the Russo-Japanese War. The battle of Chemulpo Bay left an indelible mark on history as Japanese soldiers paid their final respects to Russian sailors from the cruiser Varyag. The landing of Japanese troops on the beach at Chemulpo stands as a testament to the strategic importance of this location. Dr Landis and his school at Chemulpo served as beacons of education amidst turbulent times. Port Chemulpo's general view showcases its bustling nature, reflecting its status as a vital trading hub. The arrival of Japanese troops further emphasized its significance in regional affairs. As we delve into Incheon's past through sketches and engravings, we catch glimpses of Korean gentlemen adorned in traditional attire - hanbok and gat - symbolizing their deep-rooted culture. Jemulpo Port's chromolitho depiction transports us back to an era when vibrant colors painted daily life. It was here that Japanese war stores were landed with precision while military hospitals provided care for those injured during conflicts. Incheon is more than just historical accounts; it is a living embodiment of resilience and progress. Today, it stands tall as a thriving metropolis where tradition intertwines harmoniously with modernity.
