What to Expect When You Visit CheongKwanJang Spa 1899 Donginbi
The moment you enter Spa 1899 Donginbi, whether that’s in Myeongdong, Gangnam, or Busan, you’ll instantly feel like you’re transported to a place of total serenity. Each of their location features neutral tones, wood colors, ambient sounds, and top-of-the-line fixtures, which all come together to take your mind off of the hustle and bustle in Seoul or Busan. But more than being a decadent wellness center, what really sets Spa 1899 apart is their artisanal line of red ginseng products. For their foot, facial, and full-body treatments, they use CheongKwanJang Red Ginseng, which is known to restore and revitalize skin as well as promote good body circulation. This is perfect if you want to relax your body and rejuvenate your skin. Take a look at this short clip to see what they offer:
Spa 1899 offers the same array of services in all of their branches. They have three main categories: Single Care, Multi Care, and Full Care. The Single Care consists of 1-hour treatments that focus on the feet, face, or the whole body, while the Full Care is the ultimate package that covers everything and makes use of red ginseng that targets the deepest layers of the skin. The Multi Care category is further divided into three: Slow-Aging package (anti-aging), Purifying (total cleansing), and Balancing (moisturizing).

1. CheongKwanJang Spa 1899 Donginbi Myeongdong
Although it was a bit pricey, I took my mom to this spa and we had a great time. The scents of the products were great, and they helped soothe our muscles. The pressure applied at the massage was just right, and there was no break in the entire 2 1/2 hours.
