Boryeong Mud Festival 보령머드축제

About

The Boryeong Mud Festival (Korean: 보령머드축제) is an annual festival which takes place during the summer on Daecheon Beach (대천해수욕장) near Boryeong, a town some 200 km south of Seoul, South Korea. The first Mud Festival was staged in 1998 and, by 2007, the festival attracted 2.2 million visitors to Boryeong. The mud is taken from the Boryeong mud flats, and trucked to the Daecheon beach area, where it is used as the centrepiece of the 'Mud Experience Land'. The mud is considered rich in minerals and used to manufacture cosmetics.
