We arrive at Incheon International Airport and are picked up to downtown Incheon City this evening. We are told that Incheon is the world best international city and now open window to the world. A gateway to Northeast Asia with both international port and international airport in its hand, Incheon is located in the mid-west Korea peninsula abutting the Yellow Sea. A city located 28km from the nation’s capital, Seoul, lies at 126° 37´ of east longitude and 37° 28´ of north latitude. San Francisco, Washington, Madrid, and Teheran are found on the same latitude.    Incheon's symbolic mark is as below.

This symbol represents the Korean character ‘ㅇ’, Chinese character ‘川’, and an ocean wave.
It symbolizes the city’s dynamic and unlimited potential as a logistics center with ports and international airlines, through which goods and services come in and out of the city. It also shows that Incheon is the gateway to the world and a hub of Northeast Asia in the 21st century. Incheon as a port city is represented by the blue color of the sea as well as an energetic and determined spirit soaring dream-like towards the ocean.
