Paradise Spa Dogo is one of Asia’s top four hot spring spas (among Lissan Hwaching Hot Springs in China, Betbu Hot Springs in Japan, and Lazagraha Hot Springs in India). The spas are created from below 300m underground by 35℃ light-alkaline sulfur hot springs.
‘Sulfuric hot spring’ refers to the hot spring water that contains more than 1mg of sulfur per 1kg of water. Dogo’s hot spring water contains approximately 260.9 mg of sulfur (for vegetable sulfur and natural sulfur, only with more than 200mg/kg is it considered top class sulfur water). The spa has been recognized for its strong sulfur in Korea since the ShilLa Dynasty and was in the spotlight as a resort for the royal families. It is also famous for ‘The Myth of Crane’s Leg’ that said the hot spring water had once healed the injured leg of a crane.
Dogo Hot Spring’s legend goes way back to the SamGuk Period. The injured King of ShilLa, between BakJae and Shilla, had his wounds healed by the hot spring water. Another myth says that a half cow-half human became fully human after washing his face in this spring. Then during the Japanese Imperial period, Dogo Hot Springs was first established. In 1975 the Paradise Hotel was built, and then later Paradise Leisure Town (about 40,000 Pyoung (158146 yd²)).
