Very good experience, suitable for both the elderly and children. Although it rained that day, we could often see rainbows because of this, and both adults and children had a lot of fun.

The huge limestone columns stand out in the blue water, which is breathtaking whether it is sunny or cloudy. The observation deck is great for taking photos.
