    Blarney Castle, located just outside Cork, Ireland, is a must-visit destination that beautifully encapsulates the country's rich history and enchanting beauty. The highlight of the castle is, of course, the famous Blarney Stone, which is said to bestow the “gift of gab” upon those who kiss it, which of course I did!

    Ireland belongs to the temperate marine climate zone, so the vegetation coverage rate is very high. This green color, from south to north, from east to west, covers the island country, clear and transparent like emerald. The green of Ireland is fascinating, but the weather in Ireland is very depressing. When I came here, everyone said a joke that it rains 300 days out of 365 days in Ireland. One of my colleagues once talked about the weather in Ireland with a taxi driver. The driver said that God gave Ireland such a beautiful coat, and if he gave it good weather, it would be envied by the world.
