YESAN, South Korea, Sep. 13 (Korea Bizwire) – There is a place called “Jiguyu” in Yesan, Chungnam Province in South Korea. “Jiguyu,” now Duksan Hot Springs, was considered as a sacred place on which a legend has it that a crane had landed and healed its broken leg for 4 days before it flew away.”

The 2014 Korea Hot Springs Festival is held around Duksan Hot Springs from October 2 through 5 with the slogan, “The healing of 1000 thousand years, Duksan Hot Springs soars up to the sky with healing and well-being.” This festival is captivating enough to draw public attention since not only is the venue known as the idyllic setting for relaxation and rejuvenation with beautiful mountains, fields, rivers, and lakes, but also it overflows with Korea’s traditional culture.
