Read moreIt is going to be one of the reviews I won’t attached a picture due to watching the uneven stone road surface with lots of potential hazards for little kids and water ponds where they get shoes wet. During my walking after a school day there were two little ones tripped over. Personally I enjoy the place a lot and would recommend adults for hiking. If you take little one like me do please pay extra attention not only to the stone road surface but also the plants with spike leaves. There is a lovely farm near the entrance where you can take little one to see various animals like goat, chicken, pig etc and there is a small playing area as well.
