Today's post - A great way to spend Korean summer days!
One hot summer day, my friends and I went to Baegun Mountain in Wonju-si, Gangwon-do, as this place had a good remedy for the hot summer weather. Its secret is the valley which is so cool in a hot day so you can forget the hot weather at least for a while. Korean summer time is usually so hot and humid so it is necessary to have your own remedies such as cool places with water breeze or good nutrition foods to spend well this summer season. Instead of the harsh weather, one very good thing in Korean summer time, is that you can fully enjoy the various green colored leaves all around in this country.
Hope you enjoy the valley sights of Baegun Mountain via below photos and videos.
In the valley, we met a brave chipmunk (Chungsolmo in Korean) who wasn't afraid of human beings. He was so~~ cute!! I took a video of him so check it out if you are interested in this cute wild animal.

After spending some time in the valley (actually, we didn't want to leave as we know it would become so hot again if we leave this place), we went to one famous Korean BBQ restaurant in Wonju.
I know Korean BBQ is relatively famous Korean foods in US so I have ever been visited some well-known restaurants in Los Angeles and San Diego. They were usually all-you-can-it style restaurants. Based on my personal experiences, they couldn't reach to the food qualities of original Korean BBQ restaurants.
In Korea, you can experience various types of BBQ restaurants which is specialized with their own unique meat styles such as Pork Valley shop, Seasoned Pork Belly shop, Beef shop, Raw Beef shop, different types of chicken shops, etc. The meat qualities in decent Korean BBQ restaurants are usually untouchable as they are an expert shop in one type of meats. Thus, you should check it out famous Korean BBQ restaurants while you are visiting in Korea.
Our choice with this travel was a Pork Belly BBQ restaurant which is one of Korean spiritual foods. The restaurant's name is Go-mi-dam. I've added its location information in this post so check it out below.
Now look at the videos of one famous original Korean BBQ style.

After the great meal, the next step is a great dessert! There is another option for a hot day in the dessert category which is Korean-style red-bean sherbet - patbingsu. It is a cold dessert made with red bean and grounded ice. Our choice for this type of dessert was Sojukdu which is very closed with the above BBQ restaurant so very convenient.
This is its official website and the location information in Google of the dessert shop. -- https://sojukdoo.com/
