Thanks to K-Pop and K-Beauty, the awareness of K-Medicine is picking up in many parts of the world. It’s pretty similar to the foundation of the ancient Traditional Chinese Medicine where its basic principle is to restore the harmony between yin and yang under the nature law and seeks to eliminate to root cause of a disease. 

Donguibonga Healing Town, also known as Donguibogam Village, does exactly that. It’s a wellness resort located on the breath-taking Jirisan Mountain where physical and spiritual restoration happens. A peaceful place to meditate, release stress and promote healing. It also provides beauty and health care services such as skin care treatments, obesity managements, post-surgery care programs, chiropractic, infertility, acupuncture, health screenings and many more. 

Besides healing and meditation, there are other interesting activities that are worth your time. Be one with the nature by opting for Herbal Forest Trail Trekking or Rafting. Learn how to make Herbal Bibimbap and Herbal Pancake. The best of all, do all these in a beautiful traditional Korean wear, Hanbok.

We highly suggest you visit during Spring, where the Royal Azalea Festival is on. It has the most beautiful views (blossoming flowers) and the best weather (not too hot or cold). If you are interested in some water activity, do visit during the Gyongho River Festival in the Summer, where rafting and fishing is available. Fall is when Korean Medicinal Herb Festival occurs while Winter is when you get to enjoy delicious dried persimmon during the Dried Persimmon Festival.
