Sino-Japanese Settlement Boundary Steps

A stone stairway that was the actual border between two settlements. The Japanese settlement of 1883 was on one side and the Qing Chinese settlement of 1884 on the other. The stone lanterns differ by side, Chinese in style on one and Japanese on the other. The buildings on each side still follow the old line. It was designated Incheon Monument No. 51 in December 2002. The steps climb the southwest slope of Eungbongsan and link Chinatown to Jayu Park. That makes them the natural route between the two.
