Seokjeong휴游所 (Rest Area) is a Korean geothermal hot spring facility associated with a highway rest stop in South Korea, where naturally warm sulphurous mineral spring water has been integrated into a roadside rest and wellness facility offering travellers access to therapeutic geothermal bathing alongside conventional service station amenities. The integration of hot spring bathing into motorway rest areas is a distinctively Korean innovation that reflects the country's deep commitment to the accessibility of oncheon culture — ensuring that even long-distance travellers can benefit from the therapeutic warmth of naturally mineralised spring water. The facility provides an authentic Korean hot spring experience in an accessible and convenient format.

Insider tip — Despite the Chinese database classification, these coordinates place this spring firmly in Jeollabuk-do, South Korea, in a region of ancient metamorphic basement rock with scattered geothermal activity. The sulfurous waters at around 38-39°C are characteristic of Korea's peninsular springs, which are less volcanic than Japanese equivalents but still mineral-rich. The surrounding countryside is known for rice paddies and traditional village architecture.
