| Saunas & Spas |
Each country has its own definition of a hot spring. In Korea , a natural spring issuing water warmer than 25℃ and containing beneficial substances is defined as a hot spring . Depending on substances contained in the water, a hot spring bath may be effective in treating various disorders such as high blood pressure or skin disease. Hot spring baths are generally good for both health and beauty as the warm water stimulates blood circulation and the discharge of harmful toxins within the body.
A hot spring spa is ideal during colder temperatures in the fall or winter. However, you can enjoy hot spring spas all the year round at any of the various hot spring theme parks in addition to regular hot spring spas. There are also hot spring theme parks where you can enjoy recreational facilities as wesll, hot springs with a jjimjilbang (a Korean sauna), and hot springs where you can meet “Doctor Fish”. |
