There's a whole lot of soul in Seoul!
... 8217;s estimated to be 600yrs old! With six thick trunks intertwined and outwardly spreading in every direction, it’s the largest and oldest tree of its kind in the country. There’s no doubt that the whole complex is really enhanced by these beautiful, graceful old trees that look so full of character. I could have taken a longer and enjoyed a more detailed walk around the entire garden on my own, just lapping up the beauty and the unfettered landscape, ...
Seoul

Dragon Hill Spa
... br>
The Dragon Hill Spa near Yongsan Station is a luxus sauna-spa complex in Seoul, at reasonable prices. The entrance and the main hall is famous for its Chinese style decoration. The scope of the services is quite wide, but I must admit I've been to more beautiful saunas in Korea. I was explicitly missing the gem and smoked bamboo rooms... The complex seemed overcrowded today, still we've spent a pleasent and relaxing time ...
