Shinseung Restaurant, a great Chinese restaurant to visit while traveling in Incheon

#IncheonTravel ✨️Sinsungbanjeom✨️ is a Chinese restaurant that succeeded Gonghwachun, which started the history of Chinese cuisine in Korea. Let me briefly explain Gonghwachun. Gonghwachun originated from the establishment of ‘Shandonghoegwan’ around 1907 by Yu Hee-gwang (于希光: 1886~1949), a Chinese who immigrated from Shandong, China to Incheon. ‘Shandonghoegwan’, which first opened in a place other than the current Gonghwachun, was a ‘guesthouse’ type establishment that provided accommodations to merchants who immigrated from China. Shandonghoegwan, which first sold Jjajangmyeon, changed its name to "Gonghwachun" around 1912, meaning that "the spring of the republic has come" (共和國旳春天到了) to represent the motherland when the Xinhai Revolution took place in China, bringing an end to the absolute rule of the Qing Dynasty and establishing the Republic of China, which advocated a republic. There are no clear records of when Gonghwachun moved to its current location at 38 Seonrin-dong. However, there is a record that several Chinese, including Gong Hwa-chun, jointly purchased the building at its current location at 38-1 Seonrin-dong in 1917, and judging by the fact that it was registered as a Chinese restaurant in the Incheon area Chinese merchant list in July 1934, it is estimated that Gong Hwa-chun began operating a Chinese restaurant at its current location between 1917 and 1934 at the earliest. Gong Hwa-chun, which had a high-end Chinese restaurant reputation in the Gyeong-In region during the Japanese colonial period, temporarily suspended operations during the Korean War, but after the armistice, Woo Hong-jang acquired Gong Hwa-chun’s stocks and purchased an adjacent building around 1968 to build a large banquet hall, maintaining its reputation as one of the top five Chinese restaurants in the Gyeong-In region until the 1970s. However, in the 1980s, as Koreans began to enter the Chinese restaurant business in earnest and the commercial district of Incheon’s old downtown area around Chinatown declined, management became difficult, and it closed in 1983. Anyway, this Shinseung restaurant, which is said to be the actual successor to this Gonghwachun restaurant, has become a place where you can only go if you wait in a long line after the rumor spread on TV that the Unijjajang was delicious. . 🎯31-3 Chinatown-ro 44beon-gil, Jung-gu, Incheon #Shinseung restaurant #Incheon #Incheon restaurant #Chinatown
