Mud-ness

Muddy Hell!
For nine humid days in July, the downtown areas of Boryeong and Daecheon Beach are transformed into large muddy recreational areas. Organized for the purpose of advertising Boryeong mud cosmetics and providing a fun, festive atmosphere for the locals and visitors, the Mud Festival is quite popular with foreigners. Meet my muddy friends.


So where does this mud bath come from?
Extracted from Daecheon Beach area, it’s a high quality natural ocean mud. Boryeong mud is said to emit a healthy level of infrared rays, so the festival is not only a great way to have loads of fun but is also a good way to revitalize your skin and health.
Boryeong Mud Festival has all the activities and performances involving mud that one can possibly think of. It’s also a suitable festival for everyone as playing and getting dirty in mud will allow people to let loose and feel like kids again. While there are plenty to do in the city, why not take a trip down to Boryeong for a weekend of fun-filled activities?
