Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village

송월동 동화마을

Jung-gu, Incheon · 인천

A residential quarter behind Chinatown whose emptying streets were painted in 2013 with scenes from children’s stories — Oz, the Little Mermaid, Jack and the beanstalk.

Why it’s worth it

It is a genuine regeneration project rather than a theme park, and it worked: people moved back. Fifteen minutes, and it is directly uphill from Chinatown.
