Tour IntroductionWhy Choose This Tour?Tour HighlightsMeeting PointItineraryDid you know that 70% of Korea’s herbal medicines are traded in one place? Jegi-dong has long been the heart of Korean Oriental medicine. Legend has it that Emperor Qin Shi Huang of China, obsessed with eternal life, sent envoys to Korea’s "Three Spirit Mountains" in search of the elixir of immortality. This tour takes you to that very source of mystical energy. Beyond just sightseeing, you will discover your own unique "Body Constitution" (Sasang Medicine) through a diagnosis, taste customized herbal tea prescribed just for you, and relax with a healing foot bath. Join us on a journey to satisfy your five senses in Korea's largest traditional medicinal market, where the scent of herbs fills the air and ancient healing wisdom meets modern wellness.
