RELAX

Aquafield is a waterpark and indoor spa that includes jjimjilbang, rooms/facilities that have various temperatures to help you sweat (like saunas). Relaxing and hanging out at jjimjilbangs with family, friends, and even on dates is a popular pastime for Koreans. If you have ever watched Korean media where people are hanging out in what looks like loose medical scrubs and have towels wrapped up like ram horns on their heads - very likely that they were chilling at a jjimjilbang. Aquafield's spa also includes a food court, an outdoor foot bath that overlooks the Han River, a room full of recliners for naps - bring a book / your phone / anything else to entertain and relax yourself to wind down!
