How to fit them into a day

Gonghwachun and Sinpo Sundae suit a day around Chinatown, the Open Port area and Sinpo Market. Pick one full meal rather than scheduling both just because they are in the same part of town.

Byeonganae Ongjin Naengmyeon and Seongjin Multeombeongi are in Michuhol-gu, so plan them separately from Chinatown and the Open Port area. Check closing days before mapping the route: the naengmyeon restaurant closes on Sunday, while Sinpo Sundae closes on Wednesday.

If you only have time for one meal

Gonghwachun fits a Chinatown visit, while Sinpo Sundae is closer to a walk around Sinpo Market. In Michuhol-gu, choose naengmyeon for a simple meal or share monkfish soup or braise with a group.
