Sorae History Museum Audio Guide & Tour — Things to Do in Incheon, Korea

About

Opened in 2012, Sorae History Museum is a public museum in Namdong-gu, Incheon, established to preserve the history and atmosphere of old Sorae, which is disappearing due to new city development. Through four themed exhibition halls including Sorae mudflats, Suin Line, Sorae salt fields, and Sorae Port, it provides affectionate attractions such as the scenery of the old Sorae Station waiting room and a salt pushing experience. In the outdoor plaza, Korea's first narrow-gauge steam locomotive 'Hyogi-7', an Incheon Metropolitan City registered cultural heritage, is exhibited, offering a time travel into the past.

Have you noticed the stationary wheels of the small train that used to rattle at the mere touch of a hand? This is the story of the little Suin Line narrow-gauge train, which first ran to transport salt. Standing in front of the steam locomotive in the outdoor plaza, you can almost hear the wind blowing across the distant salt fields. Step quietly into the scene of the old Sorae Port waiting room.
