What people say

"Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village, nestled in the heart of Incheon, South Korea, is a whimsical and enchanting neighborhood that feels straight out of a storybook. This vibrant community has undergone a remarkable transformation, with its houses painted in a kaleidoscope of bright colors and adorned with fairy tale-themed murals and decorations. As you wander through its charming streets, you'll encounter iconic characters like Cinderella, Snow White, and Pinocchio brought to life on the walls. Visitors of all ages can revel in the magical atmosphere, capturing unforgettable memories at every turn. Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village is not just a visual delight; it's a testament to the power of creativity and community, making it a must-visit spot for travelers looking to step into a real-life fairy tale."
"Songwol-dong Fairy Tale Village, named for its view of the moon through pine forests, transformed from a stagnant area into a vibrant, whimsical destination. Following the opening of Incheon Port in 1883, the village saw an influx of foreigners and became prosperous, but later fell into decline. To revitalize it, the village was adorned with murals and sculptures from classic fairy tales. First-time visitors can have a delightful stroll through its colorful streets, perfect for photos and nostalgic memories. Kids will definitely love exploring this village. It's not that big and you can finish looking around in less than an hour. But if you or your companion is not into murals, you can skip this place."

"Ce quartier défraîchi, comme plusieurs quartiers similaires à travers le pays, est redevenu attractif grâce aux peintures murales qui égaient les murs des maisons et deviennent de vraies attractions pour les amateurs de photographie. Ici, le thème est : les contes de fée. On y trouve des peintures et des sculptures issues de contes populaires coréens, comme « Heungbu et Nolbu », mais également des contes étrangers, comme la Petite Sirène ou Pinocchio."
