Muuido (Korean: 무의도; lit. dancer's dress island), also known as Muui Island, is an island in Incheon, South Korea. It is a small island located south of Yongyu Island, which was joined with Yeongjong Island through land reclamation when Incheon International Airport was built.
Description
Muuido has an area of 9.43 km2 (3.64 sq mi) and a coastline length of 31.6 km (19.6 mi). From north to south, its length is about 5 km (3.1 mi), and from east to west about 3 km (1.9 mi).
Muuido is served by a daily ferry from Incheon ferry terminal on the mainland, as well as by a frequent car ferry which crosses the narrow channel separating the island from Yongyu Island. Buses run from the airport and the Incheon Airport Maglev will also provide service to nearby Yongyu station. With the opening of Muui Bridge between Muui and Yeongjong, ferry service to the island has been reduced.
