Incheon Launches 'Live City Administration Field Visit' Program... Experience Security Sites on Yeonpyeongdo Island and More

On March 4, Incheon City announced the official launch of the 'Live City Administration Field Visit' program, which will tour 50 sites across five regions, including security and peace sites on Yeonpyeongdo Island, as well as the Ganghwa and Ongjin areas.

The city will first operate the 'Treasure Island Field Visit - Yeonpyeongdo Course,' which received great response last year, on a regular basis after a pilot run. In connection with the 'Incheon i Sea Pass,' Incheon citizens can experience security sites near the Northern Limit Line (NLL) at the westernmost frontline as a day trip for a one-way fare of 1,500 won.

The course begins at the security education center and proceeds to the Peace Park, Early History Museum, the preserved site of Sergeant Seo Jeongwoo's tombstone, the Peace Observatory, and Artillery Unit 7, allowing participants to reflect on the importance of peace and security. In particular, the educational program at the Yeonpyeong Peace and Security Training Center, which previously required an overnight stay, has been adjusted to a day trip to improve accessibility.

The Yeonpyeongdo field trip is conducted with 15 to 20 participants per session, and participants benefit from in-depth experiences through specialized supporters and a security briefing from the Yeonpyeong military unit.

An official from Incheon City stated, "By converting the Treasure Island Field Visit into a regular program, we have enabled many citizens to experience security sites," adding, "We hope this will be a special opportunity to rediscover the value of Incheon's islands and to experience the importance of peace."

Additionally, while operating 50 field visit sites across five existing regions (Ganghwa, Ongjin, Central, Southern, and Northern regions), the city has added new sites in the Yeongjong area, such as the Yeongjong History Museum, to the Central region and newly introduced a night-specialized course. Participants may freely select two to three field visit sites within the same region.

The Live City Administration Field Visit is open not only to students in grade 4 or above who are interested in Incheon City administration, but also to general citizens, groups, and even residents from other cities and provinces. Applications can be made through the Incheon City website starting 90 days before the desired visit date.
