Got a long tiring day? Relax yourself at Jjimjilbang!
Jjimjilbang literally means 'sauna room' or you can call it Korean sauna. Jjimjilbang normally are large public bathhouse complete with sauna, hot tub, shower room, pool, massage room, and a lot more. Most of them open 24 hours and also have restaurants, wide-screen TV's, noraebang (karaoke room), and napping area where people can sit or lie around sleeping or just relaxing and watching TV.
The speciality of Jjimjilbang is sauna room. There are several different saunas with different themes and benefits, such as rooms made from a certain type of rock known in Korea as 'maekban' are good for rejuvenating skin, amethyst for improving blood circulation, and yellow mud are good for digestive system.
After you sweat your stress out in the hot room, drink a cold glass of 'misutgaru' (ground mixed grains mixed with wather or milk), or 'sikhye' (sweet drink made from fermented rice) and you will be fully-recharged!
The admission fee is considerably inexpensive with less than 10,000 won or about $10, so when you are traveling around Korea why don't you stop by at this uniquely Korean sauna and relax yourself at Jjimjilbang!
