The 24th Jindo Yeongdeung Festival
May 22 ~ May 25, 2001

If you want the experience of crossing the sea on dry land,
do not miss this festival.
It is held at the time when the tide drops six or seven meters to part the sea between Jindo and Modo Islands, often compared to Moses's miracle.
Spectators walk across the seabed gathering edible seaweed, conches, clams, octopus and many types of pretty shells.
