It is also known as the motif for Geumjatang in the webtoon 'God of Bath'.

Heosimcheong boasts an enormous hot spring complex spanning approximately 1,300 pyeong, capable of accommodating up to 3,000 people simultaneously. It features dozens of baths, including salt baths, beer baths, and hinoki baths, along with dry and wet saunas and an outdoor mini-pool.

Parking is free for Heosimcheong users, but registration is required upon exit.

Bloggers recommend allocating ample time for a visit to Heosimcheong due to the sheer size of the hot spring facilities. It is important to note that jjimjilbang access incurs an additional fee separate from the hot spring admission. The first-floor lobby also offers various amenities like Starbucks, Lotteria, and specialty restaurants, providing convenience before or after using the spa.
