Artistic Galway: Telling Ancient Stories
Located on the west coast of Ireland, Galway is a city with a strong artistic temperament. Many medieval ancient buildings stand here, as if telling ancient stories to people. Passing through the Spanish Arch, the only remaining part of the 16th-century old city wall of Galway, history and modernity overlap, as if traveling through time to see the bits and pieces that happened under the city wall in the Middle Ages.
After leaving the Spanish Arch, head to the Galway Cathedral, the largest and most influential cathedral in Galway, to feel the solemnity of the Catholic church; you can also go to the oldest church in the city, St. Nicholas' Church, to pray. This place once brought good luck to Columbus, allowing him to successfully discover the New World. Walking in the city, you will feel the local happy and peaceful leisure atmosphere. Enthusiastic and friendly locals walk past you with smiles. Do not be stingy with your expressions; smile, pass the happiness to them, and keep the joy in your heart.
Rose Castle: Love Follows and Companionship Accompanies
Continuing south from Galway, you can reach the Cliffs of Moher, the highest in Europe: the axe-hewn cliffs uniquely reveal dense layers, and at the end of the cliff is the vast sea, where transparent and cold sea waves crash against the rocks, as if loudly pouring out its love for the reef.
Traveling south along the way, you will arrive in Kerry, which has 3,000 kilometers of winding coastline. Driving on the winding roads, the beautiful scenery on both sides is intoxicating; blue skies, white clouds, green fields, small houses, and sea sunsets form a picturesque landscape. Accompanied by cattle and sheep on the green grass, passing through unique small towns, you will arrive at "Rose Castle"—a world-renowned marriage proposal destination. Hold your lover's hand and board a private yacht. When the boat reaches the center of the lake, take out the carefully prepared ring to propose. In the afternoon, whether it is rowing on the lake for fishing to enjoy a quiet time, or sunbathing on the best beach in Europe to watch the sunset, both are good choices.
Wonderful Journey

After tasting the food, don't let your mouth stop; going to Blarney Castle to kiss the Blarney Stone is one of the must-do things when visiting Ireland. After kissing this stone, you will gain enviable eloquence.
