Staying in Gangnam, treating in Jamsil
Many visitors stay in Gangnam for shopping and nightlife and come to Jamsil for treatment. That works well: the commute is short and direct, and Jamsil offers calmer recovery spots such as Seokchon Lake. After lifting or laser, a taxi back can be more comfortable than a crowded train.
