I've read about this a few years ago before I had this blog. The weird phenomena that happen in South Korea at Jindo Island.
Once a year in Jindo in Jeollanam-do Province, the seas mysteriously part and visitors can walk through the sea from the mainland to a nearby island. This phenomenon is caused due to the difference in high tides and low tides, which creates a 2.8-kilometer-long road measuring 40 to 60 meters in width. The Jindo Miracle Sea Festival takes place at the same time as this phenomenon. Visitors can enjoy walking along the sea road, gathering abalone and various other fun activities that make up the festival program. The spectacular sight of the waves parting is widely known and many people travel to Korea from all over the world just to witness this amazing event.
This amazing phenomenon happen only two times in a whole year on March or May and July. It usually happen at 5-6pm. Over 40,000 people from all around the world come and visit Jindo Island for that time to experience it by themselves. Because of the large number of people who come to visit, they announce it as one of the festival in April.
