The place behind me is where you can experience Chojeong mineral water firsthand.You can relieve your tiredness by taking a foot bath in mineral water.

Visitors have been visiting this foot bath since early morning.

The King Sejong and Chojeong Yaksu Festival tells the story of King Sejong's two visits in the spring and fall of 1444.

It is recorded that he stayed here for 121 days and treated diabetes and conjunctivitis using clean ultra-purified mineral water.

In addition, various policies were implemented at the Chojeong Haenggung Palace, including the creation of Hunminjeongeum.

The guest mineral water is a natural rock half-water that has not dried up for more than 600 years and is also one of the world's top three mineral waters.

It is known to help improve skin diseases by promoting metabolism and gastrointestinal movement and making the skin elastic.

At the entrance of the festival hall, there is also a welcome drink where you can drink herbal medicine yourself.

In addition, there is an educational program where you can learn more about Hangul and Hunminjeongeum, and there is an experience zone where you can enjoy traditional games and try on Hanbok.

In particular, the Chojeong Healing Village, where you can use carbonic acid healing pool and spa healing pool using Chojeong mineral water in nature, has also opened since this year.

There is also a meditation program that can heal both body and mind, and visitors are visiting.

Cheongju-si announced the start of the festival in earnest, starting with the Yeongcheon Festival, which expressed gratitude to its ancestors for protecting Chojeong Yaksu.

We expect more than 100,000 tourists to visit this festival venue.

After a while, from 1 p.m., you can also see a fish parade event that recreates King Sejong's arrival here.

Chojeong Yaksu, who also treated diseases while King Sejong stayed. How about experiencing it yourself?
