Tips Before You Go
Nature lovers will definitely enjoy a visit to this garden, due to the sheer variety of plants here. There is even a trail that leads you to a “close-up” of a waterfall, but it is a rather long walk, and the distance between you and the waterfall is still relatively far away. As such, walking all the way there may not be worth it. Just go to the observation platform instead.
