Incheon Metropolitan City (Mayor Park Chan-dae) announced that it has published the Autumn 2026 edition of its Chinese-language newsletter .

Published quarterly with a print run of 2,000 copies, it has conveyed the city’s major policies as well as news on culture, tourism and the economy. Since its founding, it has served as a bridge for regional exchange linking Korea and China, and last year it won the Special Award in the Public Print Newsletter category at the Korea Communication Awards, earning external recognition for its excellence.

This autumn edition is the third installment of the annual editorial theme ‘Munjeon-seongsi (門前成市), Incheon,’ featuring ‘Seong (成) – An Economic City Driving the Growth of the Republic of Korea’ as its main theme. It traces, along three lines, how Incheon, which has grown into a gateway city since the opening of its port, is now leaping forward as an industrial hub. The main content covers ‘the advanced,’ represented by the world’s largest biocluster and a global semiconductor base; ‘the foundation,’ built through the smart digital transformation of the Namdong, Juan and Bupyeong industrial complexes; and ‘the future,’ envisioned through urban air mobility (UAM), the emerging robotics industry, and startup parks.

In addition, the issue was filled with features such as ‘Incheon Now,’ covering the scene of the 10th anniversary of the In-China Forum; ‘Stories of Incheon and Its Chinese Sister and Friendship Cities,’ addressing cooperation cases with Henan Province; ‘A Visit to Incheon’s Strong Small Enterprises,’ spotlighting an Incheon company that operates a corporation in Suzhou, China, producing precision motors and robot reducers; and ‘Listening to Opinion Leaders,’ carrying proposals for mutual Korea-China growth by Kim Su-han, a senior research fellow at the Incheon Institute.

Reading materials that connect warmly with readers were also included. ‘The Birth of a Family,’ recounting the settlement of an ethnic Chinese family in Incheon; ‘Four Seasons Tour,’ introducing the reed fields of Sorae Wetland Ecological Park and the cosmos flowers of the Sky Garden; ‘The Taste of Incheon,’ featuring grapes from Yeongheungdo; and ‘Global Report,’ delivered by a student of Chinese Language and Literature at Yonsei University’s International Campus, added to the variety.

The city has prepared a reader-participation quiz event, presenting modest gifts to three applicants selected by drawing. It is also running the ‘Chinese-language Newsletter Subscription Service,’ introduced since the spring edition, alongside the print version to overcome the time and space constraints of offline distribution and enhance reader accessibility. Readers who wish to subscribe for free to the newsletter and the printed edition can apply on Incheon City’s Chinese-language website (https://www.incheon.go.kr/cn/CN010711), or submit their name, mobile phone number, and email or address via email (iwindow@korea.kr).

This means that as Incheon’s policies and culture spread online beyond the printed page, the channel through which local Chinese readers encounter Incheon has been considerably broadened.

Jang Hyeong-woo, the city’s Content Officer, said, ‘We hope that Incheon’s diverse charms and outstanding policies will be conveyed to local audiences in China, becoming a driving force that leads to mutually beneficial development between the two countries.’
