Pyeongchang is blessed with natural beautiful. Let's check out another must-visit spot which is very close to Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch.
Uiyaji Baram Maeul (Uiyaji Wind Village) is a mountain village situated on top of Daegwallyeong. It's the first village selected by Kora Rural Community to experience rural village in Korea.
Enjoying beautiful sight of wind-mills and sheeps stretches along the way to Uiyaji.
Yaji means "the place where the righteous people live together."
Maybe this village was named Wind Village because it's windy as
you can see the heavy wind turbine spin slowly...
It's really a great place for the whole family to get back to nature, play and hands-on on various programs or activities which may vary according to the season.
Some of the activities including making cheese, ice cream, pizza, soap, candle, feeding sheep, ATV ride, try various food including memil-mandu (buckwheat dumpling), ongsimi-kalguksu (handmade knife-cut noodles with sweet rice dough soup), gamja-jeon (potatoes pancakes), memil-kalguksu (buckwheat knife-cue noodles), sanchae-bibimbap (seasoned wild vegetables bibimbap).
The taxi driver told us to join the activities since we just fed the sheep in Daegwallyeong.
This class is suitable for kids because their using scientific method to make Ice Cream.
I forgot how much we paid for this, but you can check this link for the current rates and information of others activities from this link.
See those kiddos' eyes suddenly shinning when the milk turned to ice cream!
They screamed for Ice cream and
opened their mouths as big as possible so they can put either
mixer and spatula inside their mouths!!!
Happiness is when you can taste the labour of your hard work.
Even the ice cream tastes sweeter and smoother and it's the best ice cream they ever tasted in their lifetime!
The teacher is quite funny and cheering the kids, she turned the class becamse entertaining place to have fun learning for kids. Trully worth a visit and have some wonderful experience.
Pyeongchang is an interesting and beautiful city because it's the first cities to experience snow in Korea and now hosting 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
After tried Grilled Hwangtae, the specialty food of this region,
we went to visit 200 sheep at Daegwallyeong Sheep Ranch.
Sheep Ranch, a must-visit in Pyeongchang.
There are many ranches in Pyeongchang, and Daegwallyeong is a privately owned ranch on an area of 195 k㎡.
It's the only ranch that raises sheep in Pyeongchang.
If you're visiting during hot months, they're freely roaming around treeless hills
of grazing field which surrounded by a 1.2 meter-long circular walkway
so visitors can view the sheep at all times during their visit.
But they're kept indoor during chilly winter months.
These woolly sheep greeted people with their smiley face. So so so cute!!!
They're very friendly and hungry...
Without asking, they quickly help kids to reduce the burden off their hands.
Aigoo... 8 baskets of hays gone in less than 10 minutes!
"Can we have more, please?!"
Some of the sheep dilligently following you wherever you go,
and some just lazying and having sunbath.
My son told them to grow healthy and more wool after eating so much food.
Where's the Baa Baa Black Sheep?
Shearing sheds? Not sure...
Beautiful snowscape scenery!
Let's play with the dog first.
Strolling trail to top of the hill.
It's like stairways to the sky...
Charming rustic wooden shack at the middle of the field.
It's used as a backdrop of the movie "The Man from Mars."
Exotic landscape especially when the white snow covered the land.
It's an instagram-worthy spot, therefore...
Kinda hard to take photo as a lot of people also roaming here
just to snap some beautiful photos.
and kiddos having fun snow...
My gal busy building her snowman.
My boy sleeping on his new found a shiok snow sofa bed.
Such a cool moment to cherish!
'Seonbi' Scholar Snowman.
Never seen such a thick snow like this.
Didn't feel like leaving, but we need to go to other places...
