Hot Spots

This is how they call it, the Miracle of Moses in Korean version. Jebudo is a small island located in Hwaseong City, the west coast in Korea and you can see a split road passage in the middle of the ocean twice a day for several hours due to tidal currents. That’s why they call it that way. Yes, it’ll be very new and strange when you see it with your own eyes. Before planning a trip here, you need to make sure to check the high tide timings.

 

Jebudo is not very far from Seoul or Incheon so it’s quite easy to get there. Driving a car should be better but it’s still possible to get there by public transportation. The locals used to earn a living by fishing and agriculture but now most of them work in the lodging business or service industry.

 

 

You can see a sign indicating the available times for the ‘parting of the sea’. So it’s very convenient.

 

 

This place is a seaside town so you can walk along the beach. Also you will realize that you’re standing in the middle of the mudflat.

 

 

The red highlighted part is the road of the sea parting. You have a lot of places to visit for fun such as a small amusement park on the island.

 

 

And this is the road of the sea parting and you can pass the way during the available times. Can you believe it? This road vanishes twice a day during the specific times.

 

 

I’ve been to Jebudo since I was a young boy because my parents used to enjoy visiting this place to enjoy seafood. It’s very close from Suwon which is the place of my childhood so I still feel familiar with Jebudo. If you want to take off from the city, this is no doubt a place for a new experience. Once again, be sure to check the sea parting schedule before you visit this place.
