ACCORDING to a recent report by BBC.com Travel, Korea is one of five countries where people live to a grand old age.
Along with Japan, Spain, Singapore and Switzerland, Korea was named as a country where the people live substantially longer than the worldwide average.
Now the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism and Korea Tourism Organisation have put together a list of 25 must-go wellness spots in Korea for overseas visitors.
They include the Herb Island Herb Healing Centre in the country's largest herb garden. The centre offers herb detox programs, while a healing forest of cypress trees offers cypress and salt-themed therapies and woodcraft programs.
The National Centre for Forest Therapy offers forest experience programs, while the Jinan Red Ginseng Spa has five red ginseng based programs, including open-air baths by the side of Mt Maisan.
