Incheon Metropolitan City: South Korea’s 3rd-Largest City 🌆

As South Korea’s third-largest city, Incheon Metropolitan City is home to over 2.8 million residents and boasts a per capita GDP of around USD 39,000 💸. It stands as the largest port on South Korea’s west coast and the country’s second-busiest port overall—and serves as the vital "outer port" for Seoul, linking the capital to global maritime trade networks seamlessly 🚢. Beyond its role as a logistics hub, Incheon is a key industrial powerhouse in South Korea. Its economy flourishes with well-developed sectors including automotive manufacturing, steel production, electronic goods, and machinery 🏭—a industrial trait that shares striking similarities with Guangzhou, China.
