Incheon Singi Cultural Tour Market
Get Connected! Bringing A Unique Market to the World!
Singi Market, the largest market in the Nam-gu District of Incheon City, has a unique coin called “Singi Tongbo.” On the way from the public parking lot to the market, a giant version of Singi Tongbo is on display, indicating that it is only used in Singi Market. The idea of using local currency came from Sangpyeong Tongbo, a coin used during the Joseon Dynasty, the last independent monarchy. A local saying goes, “When touching this, your financial prospects will greatly improve.”
One unusual aspect of the market is the baseball museum located in the public parking lot. In the museum, you can see how baseball arrived in Incheon, Korea for the first time, as well its history in the area. Many cherished items sought by fans, handprints, and autographed objects from famous baseball players and their teams are on display here. Also, Munhak Baseball Stadium of Incheon is located nearby, so fans can buy some snacks at the market and bring them along to the stadium to watch the game.
At the entrance to the market, visitors can see that the whole alley is filled with delicious snacks, such as hotteok, or stuffed sticky pancakes, and gangjeong or fried rice crackers. At a café on the ground floor of the public parking lot, visitors can enjoy various drinks, give lectures, or even participate in woodcraft making comfortably. Why not stop by at Sinji Market, charged with vibrant energy every day and recharge your own batteries?
