[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Seo Young-seo] In November last year, a pilgrim's path themed around the houses of the 12 disciples of Jesus Christ was opened on four islands in Jindo-myeon, Sinan-gun: Daegijeomdo, Sogijeomdo, Soakdo, and Jinseom.

Along the 12 km pilgrimage route, small chapels created as miniature architectural art pieces are scattered across the islands. This premium tourist destination rivals famous sites such as the Twelve Apostles rock formations on Australia's Great Ocean Road and the scenic views of Santorini, Greece.

In particular, visitors can experience the miracle of a sandbar path that appears only twice a day during low tide.
