About this place
Seoul Yangnyeongsi Herb Medicine Museum, in Seoul K-Medi Center, sits in Yangnyeongsi Market, where 70% of Korea's medicinal herbs are traded.

Visitors can check their sasang body type on 3D holograms and interactive screens, soak their feet in seasonal herbs under a hanok pavilion, or make herbal bath salts and scent pouches. Admission is ₩1,000, with English audio guides; Jegi-dong Station is 5 minutes away.
