The world of romance is always brimming with fresh flowers. Last year, I suddenly fell in love with flower viewing. Perhaps it's my 'bloodline awakening,' I must admit that I've also started to like those soft and delicate colors. As a contemporary college student, I had some resistance to the act of flower appreciation, but last year, I was fortunate enough to encounter several splendid seas of flowers, and the 'so fragrant' principle made me go through the 'trilogy' of questioning flower viewing, understanding it, and falling in love with it. I've discovered that flowers have an indescribable charm; not only do they make me smile every time I see them, but they also awaken my nature to pursue beautiful things, which is intoxicating. The most memorable experience was after attending the Yili apricot blossom event for two consecutive terms, I redefined the meaning of 'seeking flowers.' It's that unexpected uncertainty that fascinates me even more. In the blink of an eye, it's March again, the season when all things revive. The urge to appreciate the spring blossoms is stirring once more. What kind of seas of flowers will I encounter this year? What stories will unfold? Let us meet in the mountains and fields, not wasting the springtime, to explore those wildly growing seas of flowers and feel this vibrant, flowery world.

In Pyeongchang, if a restaurant is not a meat restaurant that allows dogs, this place is a famous place with a lot of grass // I visited because there were a lot of reviews on the blog. It felt like a good restaurant from the entrance. I ordered a buckwheat assortment, buckwheat noodles, and buckwheat bibim noodles. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and I could take a walk around the area, so it was a good restaurant for dogs. #RestaurantIntroduction

This is Jangpyeong buckwheat noodles that I visited as a recommended restaurant in Pyeongchang T-map. I found out that it was a famous restaurant that was also visited on 1 Night 2 Days. I ordered boiled pork, bibim makguksu, soy sauce makguksu, and mul makguksu as basics, and the boiled pork was crazy!! It could be this delicious and the soy sauce makguksu. This one also had an addictive savory taste of sesame oil.. I was satisfied with the entire menu, so I also ordered buckwheat pancakes. I now know why it is a recommended restaurant in T-map. Be sure to visit Pyeongchang restaurants. #Pyeongchang restaurants #Makguksu restaurants

The tofu stew at Dubu Memilchon was really refreshing and unique. It was spicy and savory because it had dried shrimp as the base. The visual of the boiled pork at Pyeongchang's famous Dubu Memilchon was amazing~~~~ The boiled pork was worth 25,000 won!! It was really well-cooked. It was chewy but the size was easy to eat. The four of us kept saying it was really delicious. The combination of the tofu stew and soft boiled pork was really good. Especially this part of the boiled pork! The pollack shikhye and soybean paste salad were really the best. It's boiled pork, but there's no ssamjang, only shrimp paste..? Lightly season with shrimp paste, pick garlic, onion, and pepper from the soybean paste salad, and Put it on the boiled pork. Top it with sweet and salty pollack shikhye. It's really impressive. Lastly, they give you potato rice cakes according to the number of people, and I ate them gratefully. Oh my, the makguksu is also refreshing and delicious.😊 Lastly, review the receipt and receive a Starbucks gift card. #Pyeongchang restaurant #Bulgogi restaurant #Tofu dish
