Shrimp Tower 새우타워
Incheon · Sorae Port & Incheon Grand Park · Night view
Built to resemble a shrimp, the local specialty, this observation tower rises beside the coastal promenade at Sorae. The view takes in the creek, the fishing port, the bridges and the rows of apartment blocks across the water. It is small and quick, so plan for half an hour at most, including the walk along the shore.
After dark, lighting adds a playful touch to the waterfront. Because it stands near the quieter end of the port, it is a natural stop when you want a break from the stalls and a place to look out over the tidal flats. Access and hours can change, so check on site whether the viewing level is open.
About a 10-minute walk along the waterside promenade from Sorae Port, near Sorae Pogu Station (소래포구역). (Show a driver: 새우타워)
