Wolmido (Korean월미도) is an island 1 kilometer (0.62 mi) off the coast of Incheon, South Korea. It was connected to the mainland by a highway in 1989, and was later connected by a monorail which opened in late 2019.[1][2] It is a weekend destination and tourist area, with restaurants, the theme park Play Hill and the areas Meeting Square, Arts Square, Performance Square, and Good Harvest Square.[3]

The Korean Traditional Garden at Wolmi Park (월미공원) was established in 2001 after the relocation of the Army base which had been located there for 50 years.[3]
