Korean red ginseng is very famous. On the last day of this Trip to Busan, we specially arranged to go to the "SPA 1899" operated by the century-old red ginseng brand Cheonggwanjang. While admiring the sea view of Haeundae, we soaked our feet and experienced the best 6-year-old Korean red ginseng. Skin care products for face and body massage. After visiting Tourist attractions and shopping non-stop in the past few days, let your body relax, be a lady for a few hours, and pamper yourself.

SPA 1899 Treatment Selection

The treatments at SPA 1899 include facial, body, foot, and scalp care. You can choose a single item, a two-item set, or a full set of treatments. Originally I only wanted to do body and facial treatments, but I saw someone in the reviews saying that the scalp care was also very comfortable, so I ended up booking a three-hour full course of treatments so I could try out each one.

The SPA1899 official website has detailed introductions to various treatments. Different series of treatments use different products. When booking through KLOOK, the price is 93% off the official website price. During the KLOOK promotion, the entire site is 92% off and you can save another five to six hundred yuan and use the saved money to eat barbecue.

Busan SPA 1899 Haeundae Location

Busan's SPA 1899 is located in Haeundae. Take Subway Line 2 to Haeundae Station. Take Exit 5 and walk along Haeundae Avenue to the end (about 5 to 7 minutes). You will see the building on the right. (For detailed maps, please see Hanchao Map). The building is in the first row with sea views and the location is very good. There are The Coffee Bean and Hollys Coffee downstairs.



This building has two entrances. Because I arrived early and went to the beach for a walk first, I went upstairs from the entrance next to the CU supermarket on the beach.




There is an activity introduction of SPA 1899 in the elevator. Scalp massage and foot massage are both 30 minutes for 66,000 won. Both of these items will be accomplished in today’s treatment, so looking forward to it! You can see Haeundae Beach from the transparent elevator.



SPA 1899 internal environment

SPA 1899 Haeundae branch has a row of large windows for natural lighting. It is quite bright and has a high-quality design. It feels more comfortable than the two branches in Seoul located on the underground floor.




I arrived about 20 minutes early this day, and the service staff asked me to take a rest in the reception area.



Many of Zheng Guan Zhuang's own skin care products are displayed here. You can try out the products on the table. If you like them, you can enjoy a 10% discount on on-site purchases.






Maybe I’m the only one making an appointment during this time period, so the service staff will know who I am without showing my Klook electronic voucher. Then the beautiful waiter brought a cup of Korean ginseng tea with six-year-old Korean red ginseng concentrate. However, for me who usually drinks sugar-free, this cup of tea was too sweet.



Then fill in the customer management card, including health status (high blood pressure, heart disease, pregnancy, surgery history), skin condition, massage intensity, whether you need to bathe before and after the massage, etc., so that the aromatherapist can understand the customer's needs.



Because I was going to have a body treatment, I chose to shower before the massage. This way, I don’t have to shower again after the massage, and my skin can slowly absorb the massage essential oil containing red ginseng. (Note: Massage time includes shower time)



After filling out the questionnaire, Luna, the aromatherapist who served me, came over to introduce the sequence of the treatments. She applied some of the products I would use that day on my hands and let me feel the products of Cheong Kwan Jang. Interestingly, Luna said that her English was not very good. I happened to know Japanese, so Luna introduced me in Japanese. She spoke very fluently, which shows that there are really many Japanese customers!

Aromatherapy room introduction

SPA 1899 Haeundae branch has a total of six aromatherapy rooms, two of which are double aromatherapy rooms. If couples, couples or sisters come together, they can enjoy them together in the same space.




Each aromatherapy room is a suite and is very well-equipped. There are bathrobes, disposable slippers, and paper pants in the wardrobe. After putting your own things in, you can also set a password, and the security is very good.



The small table next to it contains toothbrushes, toothpaste, hair ties, cotton pads, cotton swabs, and even contact lens cases and saline solution, which is so considerate!



The shower room has a complete range of bath supplies. Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and body lotion are from the Zhenguanzhuang brand LLang. For facial cleansing, Tongrenmi's deep moisturizing cleansing oil and moisturizing facial cleanser are used.

Incomparable sea view foot bath

After taking a shower, I put on my bathrobe and went to the footbath area with the best view to soak my feet. I was the only one that day, so I had the whole area to myself.



The foot bath bucket contains ginseng essence to help blood circulation.



There is a call bell on the armrest. If you need anything during the foot bath, just press it and a service staff will come over. It is indeed a high-end spa.



The weather is super nice today. It’s so happy to soak your feet in front of such a sea view!



There is a Travel book recommended for health tourism destinations on the side. It contains introductions to SPA 1899 and health resort hotels and clubs in other places in Korea. Friends who like spas can take a look.



Super enjoyable facial, body, foot and scalp care

After the foot bath of about 10 minutes, return to the aromatherapy room to start a full course of treatment, starting with a 60-minute full body massage and a 30-minute foot massage. Smell the aroma, relax your back, massage with essential oils, and my favorite hot compress is also added to the process. The aromatherapist Luna is skilled in her techniques. During the process, she will ask if the strength needs to be adjusted. She will also use a towel to cover her body when turning over to protect the privacy of the guests.

Because the treatment lasted a long time and I didn’t dare to eat too much before the massage, I felt a little thirsty and hungry during the massage. After talking to Luna, she immediately handed me a glass of warm water that had been prepared in advance, and then asked other service staff to bring me some cookies. The service was very considerate.



The facial treatment that follows is different from the usual facial treatments in Taiwan. There is no pimple squeezing involved. After a simple cleansing, I began to apply skin care products again and again. Some people wrote in the comments that they applied skin care products at least 30 times. I didn't count the number of times, but it's true that I applied it many times, including steaming my face and applying it on my face. It’s just that when applying facials in Taiwan, most aromatherapists will use their time to massage the shoulders, neck or head. The method here is to let the customers rest quietly. The aromatherapists will leave for a while and then come in to continue the treatment after applying the facials. .

The last head treatment is actually scalp care. You have to leave the aromatherapy room and go to an exclusive space similar to a high-end hair salon for hair washing + scalp care. The aromatherapist will use scalp cleansing products to purify and massage the scalp. Because my scalp is relatively sensitive, I have to pay special attention when I go out to wash my hair so as not to injure my scalp with my nails. There is no need to explain anything special here. The aromatherapist uses fingertips to massage the whole process, and the strength is just right. After the treatment, I went back to the aromatherapy room and dried my hair. My hair became super soft and my scalp felt much refreshed.



After the entire treatment was over, I returned to the reception area. The service staff had already prepared hot tea and snacks for me. This cup of tea has no added sugar and is just right with dried red dates, dried persimmons and biscuits.



I was really satisfied with the three-hour full course of treatment at Cheong Kwun Jang SPA 1899 this time. The interior space is elegant and high-end, with unparalleled sea views. The service makes you feel like a queen, caring and meticulous. After the treatment, my whole body was relaxed, my facial skin was supple and bright, and my hair became much smoother. It was a great ending to the last day of my trip to Busan.

While writing the article, I discovered that if you book a full three-hour treatment before 1/31, you will receive a Tongrenmi facial mask + a Tongrenmi beauty mirror (if the mirror is out of stock, you will receive a free Tongtonrenmi skin care product). Group), friends who like SPA may wish to pamper themselves during the Journey when they go to Busan!
