Internationally renowned, "Jindo's Sea Way"
is
a natural phenomenon that occurs when the waters around the island
of Jindo recede to reveal a long path connecting Hoedong-ri with
the neighboring Modo-ri. The seaway is formed because of the great
difference between the ebb and flow of the tide. The path is 10
to 40 meters wide and 2.9 km long.
This phenomenon occurs regardless of the speed of the tide or waves.
Every year, around half a million foreign tourists and local tourists
come to witness this marvelous phenomenon in February of the lunar
calendar.
A variety of lively festivals take place
to mark the occasion such as Ganggangsuwollae (Korean traditional
circle dance), Ssitkim-gut (a shaman ritual, consoling the souls
of he dead), Deul Norae (songs people sing while working in the
fields), Tasiraegi, Manga (songs of consolation sung at burial ceremonies),
and Buknori (drum performance). A French Ambassador, who visited
Jindo Island in 1975, first introduced "Jindo's Sea Way"
to the world, by contributing an article to a French newspaper saying
that he has seen Moses's Miracle in Korea.
In 1996, the Japanese popular singer Taentoyosiri sang about Jindo's
Sea Way, which was a great hit. This song motivated a lot of Japanese
tourists to visit the site.
