Wonjajangmyeon Street in Bukseong-dong is a food street located in the Chinatown area of Incheon, and is known as the birthplace of Korean-style Jjajangmyeon. After the opening of the port, 'Cheonggwan Street', a Qing Dynasty concession, was formed in Incheon, and Chinese restaurants such as Gonghwachun and Junghwaru, located here, developed a food culture for dock workers and citizens. In this process, Korean-style Jjajangmyeon, made by mixing noodles with stir-fried chunjang, was born and spread throughout the country. There are Chinese restaurants and related cultural facilities that preserve the history of Jjajangmyeon around the street, and in particular, the Gonghwachun building, which opened in 1905, is currently being used as a Jjajangmyeon Museum. This is a street where you can see the history of Incheon's open port and the footsteps of Jjajangmyeon, which has become a representative food of Koreans.
