The Paektusan Millyong Hot Spring is located in the city of Samjiyon, Ryanggang Province in the northern part of the DPRK.
In the area of the Paektusan Secret Camp there is the Kanbaek caldera, which is surrounded by Jong Il Peak, Saja Peak and Mts Kanbaek, Chungam and Sobaek, and the hot spring is sourced from the heat released from the residual magma under the zone.
Hundreds of cubic metres of water comes out of the spring a day with its outlet temperature above 44℃.
When 700㎥ of such hot spring water is available a day in the area with low annual average temperature, the year-long heat energy generated from the spring is equivalent to well over 10 million kWh and it is of great economic effectiveness.
The hot spring is used for the treatment of digestive and skin diseases and other medical disorders.
According to experts, it can also be drunk as mineral water and it is efficacious for the treatment of cardiovascular and urinary diseases, epidemic hepatitis sequelae, chronic heavy metal poisoning, obesity and anemia in particular.
The hot spring contributes to promoting the people’s health.
