    • 8 Boryeong’s Mud Festival – Daecheon Beach, South Korea

 
 
 
 
The Mud Festival in Boryeong, on Daecheon Beach, is an event which allows getting your inner child out and having blast with sand and mud all over your body. You can equally justify your  submersion into this culture of mud through  the participants claim that the mud contains important minerals which  reduce wrinkles and remove excess oils. Needless to say the modern day  festival doesn’t revolve so much around well-being. There are  competitive events including mud body painting, mud beauty contests and mud sculptures.
