Gochang Wellparkcity presents itself as “the nation’s top resort-style health retirement village.” Visitors can experience the effects of physical therapy through hydro-pressure stimulation in hot springs containing germanium, and there are water play facilities for children as well.

In addition, accommodations made from loess and phytoncide, a loess path experience center, and an immune-boosting walking trail help guests detoxify and find peace of mind.

Various programs that fulfill wellness travel elements, such as healthy immune-boosting meals, are also gaining great popularity among tourists. Recently, the Wellpark Hotel, equipped with 90 rooms, has also begun operations. “Wellness” is a compound word from well-being, happiness, and fitness, referring to all daily activities aimed at maintaining and improving health.

The county is gaining attention as a meditation and healing destination amid natural wonders such as Seonunsan, Ungok Ramsar Wetland, and Gochang Eupseong’s Myeongjong Bamboo Forest. Attractions such as sand bathing at Dongho Beach and animal interaction programs at Sangha Farm offer urban visitors places to recharge their weary bodies and minds.
