I walked along the path surrounded by various plants, and the atmosphere was comfortable and quiet. The gentle breeze brought the scent of nature, giving me a sense of freshness and tranquility🍁. In addition, the garden provides a beautiful area to contemplate and enjoy the beauty of the landscape. **Hwadam Park** is an ideal destination for those who want to enjoy their time amidst beautiful nature and traditional architecture🍁.

(Lee Seong-bok - The End of That Summer) That summer, the tree, the zinnia, was safe. It didn’t fall over in one storm or the next, and hung red flowers like pouring hail. That summer, I was in the middle of a storm. That summer, my despair hung red flowers like a joke, but it didn’t fall over in several storms. When the tree, the zinnia, fell over, hung on, and burst into flames, the strong flowers covered the narrow yard of two pyeong with blood, and my despair ended like a joke. #citytravel #hwadamforest #summer
