Super awesome view 🥺 I like it that it's windy during our visit. We even went back here on our last day to watch sunset. The place itself has a relaxing and calming effect. Would go back here in the future!

Surreal! We went there via tricycle (10 minute ride), but we saw a lot of joggers going there. I think it would be a good exercise to jog going up if you have free time. We love the view and the fresh air!
