Going around the Town Together

Exploring 「Triple Street」 in Yeonsu-gu 

You can enjoy a fruitful day trip in Incheon from unfamiliar places to your neighborhoods without going far. <2023 Incheon Now> explores all charms of the ten counties and boroughs of Incheon. In this issue, we present you the 「Triple Street」, a playground in the city center full of trendy things to enjoy. Jaleah Brownlee, a George Mason University student working with <Incheon Now> this year as a ‘Global Reporter,’ is introducing the place.

+ Her Comments: Triple Street has many charms! Triple Street is a complex cultural shopping mall in Songdo International City. Visitors can enjoy a variety of cultures with about 180 stores, from global brands to unique small shops. Close to IGC, I often come and spend time here during the day on weekdays. I am studying composition, and sometimes I find musical inspiration here because I can feel people's fashion and K-POP with my five senses. The entertainment plaza with cultural and artistic performances and the Sky Observatory with a beautiful view of Songdo also highlight the charms of Triple Street!

숨겨진 크러플 맛집, ‘THE BEAN’

THE BEAN, Lesser-known Hot Croffle Place

‘THE BEAN,’ a cozy coffee shop in Building D, is a lesser-known but hot croffle place. Crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, I visit this place almost every morning. The interior, cozy and warm with the bright sunshine pouring in through the glass wall, is also great. A bite of a croffle on a wooden chair makes you feel like you are back in your hometown. I recommend coffees, specialty teas, and fruit juices here because they come in a great variety and at reasonable prices.

Location: 1F, Building D, 33-4 Songdogwahak-ro 16beon-gil, Yeonsu-gu

Time flies while watching various animals, such as rabbits, land turtles, desert foxes, guinea pigs, and lizards. The visit is limited to maximum of two hours. You can also feed animals.

개성넘치는 로컬 브랜드의 장(場), ‘The Street Stores’

The Street Stores , The Place for Unique Local Brands

Building A Plaza at Triple Street always presents joy and surprise with unique small shops. Dozens of small shops are like jewelry boxes that you can open one by one with wonder. They carry unique clothing, such as T-shirts and hats, and various (locally made) perfumes and accessory brands. This is the place to go if you are looking for unique and unusual items.

하늘 위 나만의 포토존, '스카이 전망대’

‘Sky Observatory, Photo Zone above the Sky Just for You

The trail of Triple Street, great for a walk, also leads you to the sky. If you climb the stairs between Building C and Building D, the lawn spreads before you to refresh your mind. The sight of citizens enjoying time with each other on benches and stairs in threes and fours makes you feel easy. When you climb the hill that leads to Building D rooftop, the beautiful panorama of Songdo will come into sight in no time. It is considered one of Songdo's best photo zones, beautiful day and night.
