The Jeju Mysterious Road, also known as Dokkaebi Road. It is a place where a slight downhill slope appears to be an uphill slope due to the layout of the surrounding land, creating the optical illusion that water flows uphill or a car left out of gear will roll uphill
From the start point to the ending point, it is about 175m
Can you see that it appears to be uphill from the starting point?
