Emotional pet-friendly accommodation located in Pyeongchang, Today's Our Home🏠

#Emotional Accommodation Eujine, a pet-friendly accommodation in Pyeongchang, is even more affectionate because of the cute retriever Bori who wakes up and wags his tail to greet you at the sound of a car coming in.

At night, you can watch the stars twinkling on the rooftop, have a barbecue in nature, and have a fun night with your dog.

Sheep and ice festival

Winter of ‘23 Located in Pyeongchang, Gangwondo I was in Gangneung to enjoy the beach in the winter. Found a small town nearby hosting an ice festival. It was on the stream/river of the town. They have sledding, a mini maze, and sculptures to look at. When I went the had a game for catching the “wild boar” and if you pull a flag you’ll get a prize. They have a food court area next to it. I also went to the sheep farm too. It was a 15 minute cab ride from the bus station. They also have a shuttle bus to and from the sheep farm, Daegwallyeong Yangette Farm. The ice festival is about a 10 minute walk from Hoenggye bus terminal. The shuttle bus also departs from here it is red. The bus terminal is together with a gas station. #snow #icesculptures #Snowfestival #sheep #Sheepfarm

FANTASTIC TRAIN RIDE, PYEONGCHANG AND JINBU

#seoul We always love train rides especially in countries where trains are not only regarded as important transportation, but also being very efficient and undeniably very fast ! We had both experienced the ordinary class and business class. Both are good though. Sure thing is, business class has less people onboard with more comfy, spacious seat. So this was our route Seoul - Pyeongchang, Jinbu (Odaesan) - Seoul. Memorable train journey indeed. One of the train highlights is the wireless charger attached to the seat. No more hassle finding your plug yada yada yada. Simply insert the mobile phone and tadaaaaaa, the battery is recharged promptly. Wonderful experience every time arriving at a new town/station and looking forward for more train rides in future ! #mytripvlog #tripleblazer

#asiatrip #nationalpark #naturalwonders #urbanexplorer Woljeongsa Temple is located in the dense forest of a valley found in the east of the Odaesan Mountain in Dongsan-ri, Jinbu-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do. Woljeongsa Temple, which is found at a quiet place where the vital force of Manwolsan Mountain has gathered, exudes a quiet and peaceful beauty surrounded by evergreen needleleaf trees. In front of it, Geumgangyeon, where Manchurian trouts swim in the clear and cold water, flows displaying a beautiful scenery.

Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch is the only ranch that raises sheep. The sheep grazing field is surrounded by a 1.2 meter-long circular walkway, so visitors can view the sheep at all times during their visit. It takes about 40 minutes to walk along this path. A wooden shack located in the field appeared as a backdrop of the movie "The Man from Mars." The wooden shack fits perfectly with the sheep farm, and has become a popular photo site. #wintergetaway #wintergetaway

There are not many Chinese tourists in Gangwon-do. Most of the tourists are staying in Seoul. I also watched the EXO video to know that there are many places to play. Take an adventure to Gangwon Province. It is the northern part of Korea and the coldest place. I checked the weather before I came. When Seoul was a dozen degrees ago, it was at -4° - 4°, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was great. Going to Gangwon-do can take a high-speed rail or rent a car. In fact, renting a car is quite convenient. After landing from Incheon Airport in Seoul, drive directly to Gangwon-do. About three hours later, I took a break in the service area. What surprised me was that the high-speed service station actually ate so much, and the service station was very clean. Resting service area: Lingdong Expressway - Longren Service Area When you need to pick up the card at the same level as in China, there is no Chinese on it, but the operation is the same. Because dinner is BBQ, we went to the supermarket to purchase some ingredients before going to the place to stay. The things inside are quite rich. EMART (Egawa E-Mart) Address: 684 Chungcheongbuk-do, Jeongcheon-dong, Gangdung-dong, 684 evening, it is a place to stay, here is a caravan camp . The owner is a Korean couple, and then they look like Koreans, a strong artist. The male owner does not like to talk very much, always doing things silently. The RV here is designed by themselves. I found his territory in the warehouse next to me.

The most famous dish in Korea, bibimbap is one of them. When it comes to bibimbap, you must go to Jingjiang Garden to taste it. I have read the Korean drama "The Diner" and remembered the sauce tank that appeared in the drama. It is true that the drama crew used the sauce tank in the Jingjiangyuan Korean Food Experience Hall. Therefore, this is also a Korean drama fan who has to experience it. One place. Into the yard full of sauce tanks, I feel that the Korean drama is breathtaking. The bibimbap in Jingjiang Garden has many kinds of ingredients. Under the guidance of the staff in the store, the ingredients are put into the rice noodles and then placed in the flowers. It evenly mixes up and eats his own mixed rice in this quiet yard, and feels very good.

5/5 Stars: Winter Wonderland at Dragon Valley Hotel!

#koreatrip I recently spent an unforgettable winter vacation at the Dragon Valley Hotel, located within the stunning Mona Yongpyong ski resort. The hotel's cozy atmosphere, complete with warm lighting and plush furnishings, was the perfect antidote to the chilly winter weather. The hotel's proximity to the ski slopes was a major plus, allowing me to hit the trails early and make the most of my ski passes. The staff were friendly and accommodating, helping me navigate the resort and making excellent recommendations for dining and activities. Overall, I highly recommend the Dragon Valley Hotel for a magical winter getaway.

Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm - Swiss vibe

#traveldiaries The Daegwallyeong Sheep Farm, the only sheep farm in South Korea, is located in the mountains of Gangneung at an elevation of over 700 meters. The cool weather and green hills create a Swiss-like atmosphere, making it a famous travel destination and often considered a must-visit spot when traveling to Gangneung. The farm is beautiful in every season, even in winter with snowfall, but I recommend visiting in spring or fall. It's best to avoid July due to the rainy season. Because of its mountainous location, it's not convenient to reach by public transportation, so traveling by car is the preferred option. 📍Address: 14-104 Hoenggye-ri, Daegwallyeong-myeon
