Andong City Reopens Hakgasan Hot Springs... 4 Months After COVID-19 Closure

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Park Dong-wook] Hakgasan Hot Spring, operated by the Facility Management Corporation under Andong City, Gyeongbuk, will reopen on the 28th after a 160-day closure.

Andong Hakgasan Hot Spring was closed from February 22 to prevent the spread of the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19). According to Andong City, during the closure period, the facility underwent improvement projects to present a new appearance.

With the reopening of Hakgasan Hot Spring, Andong City plans to conduct temperature checks for all entrants and ensure that users maintain a distance of at least 2 meters from each other, in accordance with COVID-19 response guidelines for social distancing in daily life.

Hakgasan Hot Spring is located southeast of Hakgasan, which embraces the thousand-year-old temple Gwangheungsa. Andong City developed the hot spring (alkaline sodium bicarbonate type) emerging from the underground bedrock of the Hakgasan ridge and opened it in 2008. The facility is closed on the first and third Mondays of every month.
