Yeongheung-myeon: Yeongheung-ro
Yeongheung-myeon lies along the Yellow Sea coast on Yeongheung Island, where low wooded hills meet tidal shores and scattered coastal settlements. Yeongheung-ro runs through this island community in Incheon's Ongjin County, south-west of the metropolitan city. The surrounding waters are shaped by the substantial tidal range of Korea's west coast, leaving broad intertidal flats that support fishing and shellfish harvesting. Seafood remains central to the area's local food culture, while the road network links homes, small harbours and beaches across the island. Yeongheung Island is connected by bridge to neighbouring Seonjae Island, making it part of Incheon's outer island chain rather than an isolated offshore settlement.

South Korea stretches from the mountainous border with North Korea to Jeju Island, encompassing forested ranges, fertile river basins and a deeply indented southern coast. The Taebaek Mountains run along much of the east, while the Han River crosses Seoul before reaching the Yellow Sea. Busan faces the Korea Strait, and tidal flats and islands shape the country’s western shore. Seoul combines dense contemporary districts with royal Joseon sites, including Gyeongbokgung Palace, first built in 1395.
