| Description |
Yuseong Hot Springs is located at the center of Daejeon. The hot spring is known
to be effective in countering many kinds of maladies. The water here contains
alkaline minerals such as calcium, and potassium, sulphur, carbonic acid,
silicic acid and radium. An especially high concentration of radium is found
here. Such alkaline hot springs are known to be good for treating neuralgia and
geriatric diseases. Nearby are large accommodations with many convenient
facilities, which make it easy to visit here while touring. Yuseong Hot Springs
has long been associated with cranes. During the final days of Baekje Kingdom, a
man who was the only son and heir of a family for seven generations was
seriously wounded during a war with Silla. His mother worried greatly over her
son’s wounds. One day she saw a crane with a wounded wing dip itself into a hot
spring in the midst of snow covered ground and healed. She took her son there
and his wound was healed as well so the legend goes. Perhaps because of this
legend, the Yuseong Hot Springs is famous for its healing properties.
