The island of Silmido was the site of a top-secret North Korean infiltration unit training ground in the late 1960s.
A land bridge connects Muui Island to Silmido only during low tide, lasting for a few hours twice daily.
The park's namesake island served as the primary filming location for the 2003 record-breaking South Korean blockbuster film 'Silmido'.
The area is part of the tidal flat ecosystem, which is essential for migratory birds in the Yellow Sea region.
Silmi Amusement Park is located on Muui Island in Incheon, situated near the historical site of Silmido Island. The park serves as a gateway to the tidal flats that connect Muui Island to the uninhabited Silmido at low tide. It is primarily known for its association with the 1968 ROK Air Force Unit 684 training site depicted in the film 'Silmido'. Visitors access the area to explore the coastal trails and the geological phenomenon of the receding tide. The site provides access to the beach area where the historical training camp was once established. It functions as a public interest landmark rather than a traditional high-thrill amusement park.
The sea road during the transition period when the tide is just beginning to recede.
Check local tide tables daily, as the sea path to the island is only accessible during low tide.
Wear shoes suitable for walking on wet, muddy, and uneven terrain.
Carry sufficient drinking water and snacks as commercial facilities are limited on the island itself.
Attempting to cross the tidal flat to Silmido without consulting current tide charts.
Access is strictly dependent on daily tidal cycles and potentially restricted during extreme weather conditions.
Respect the historical nature of the site and remain on marked paths to protect the tidal ecosystem.
