Ok, so I'm looking for some details about the much-heralded Korean Mud Festival, set to take place July 15th-21st... I looked at the official website and was impressed by the packed schedule and crazy photos, but couldn't find much information about accomodations, how to get there, or whether or not you need to buy tickets.

I was wondering if any of you out there have been in years previous or are planning on making the trip this year. What are the vital details? And can anyone reccommend a good, cheap hotel nearby??

Thanks!

Erin

If you want to go independently hotel rooms are quite scarce and over-priced. Plus it's not the easiest place to get to using public transport

Boryeong City has abundant resources and beautiful scenery with mountains and beaches. It is a blessed place where has been called Every world in Boryeong cause the citizens have lived in splendor from generation to generation at the place of the great scenic beauty.<br>
<br>
We invented seven kinds of cosmetics including Mudpack after we processed the qualified and quantified beach mud gathered from the pure plain near to Daecheon swimming beach on July 1996. It was proved by prominent research institutions such as Korean Research Institute of Standards and Science, Korean Research Institute of Chemical Technology, Taepyungyang Technology Institution, Dr. Kim, Jae-baek and the team workers in Wonkwang Univ. etc. that Boryeong Mud cosmetics have much far-infrared factors good for humans body and also have higher Germanium, Mineral and Bentonite contents compare to imported products. <br>
<br>
And also, we got ISO 9002 Certification in 2001. Accordingly, we wanted to let people know the superiority of Boryeong Mud, the good product, Boryeong Mud Cosmetic and also to advertise for the sightseeing place including Daecheon swimming beach. So, we held the festival July 1998 for the first time and now we are to bring up this festival into a global one. <br>
<br>
Boryeong Mud Festival has been held at Daecheon swimming beach, where has unique shell-powered sandy beach only in Eastern countries. So, you may swim and massage with mudpack at the same time. Furthermore, there are Mud massage programs (Self massage at the Beach, Ultramodern mud massage) and Mud Experiential Land program using mud powder made through the processing procedure, that is, we gather mud from pure plain and remove all impurities. <br>
<br>
There are many events such as mud wrestling, mud king contest, mud fireworks fantasy and mud sliding. There will also be a photo competition in which past members have come in first place. This is a high profile event. There is a gorgeous beach there as well, which will come in handy as you wont have any chance but to get dirty. You will be put into a prison until you get some mud on your body.<br>
<br>
You will have a chance to join the adventurous silt extreme training experience. This will be a various marine-type extreme training courses on silt such as silt basic training, games, cavalry battles and human pyramid. The mud itself is very good for your skin and health, so you can save yourself some money on a facemask and come along with us. At night, you can relax or experience some games and watching fireworks with good friends at the gorgeous night beach. The beach itself is very beautiful and a great place to go swimming, and this is one of the biggest festivals in Korea, so please dont miss out on this great day! Be sure to specify which day you would like to go. <br>

In addition, there are 78 big and small islands including a fantastic one like God kneaded and 36 precious cultural heritages like Woiyeon-do, Muchangpo sea road famous for Mosaic Miracle, Cold pool even you feel chilly in summer, Coal Museum, National Treasure, Namhyehwasang Baekwol Bogwang Monument and etc., so visitors can sightsee and enjoy all those things. Hence, we are to let people know Cultural sightseeing in Boryeong as a related one and also advertise Boryeong Mud Cosmetic broadly to home and abroad.
