Where you'll be
From Passprt Community
- Arrive before 9 am for soft light and near‑empty trails offering peaceful morning views and great photos.
- Walking the medium loops (2–3 km) gives quiet immersion without tiring yourself or losing scenic appeal.
- Carry your own water even though local stalls offer fresh juices and snacks along the paths.
- Expect cooler mountain air but bring rain cover just in case morning mists thicken or light rain arrives.
- Watch out for steep steps near trail ends when returning to your vehicle - go slow for comfort and safety.
- This place feels like a real working rice field not an Insta showpiece so be ready for gentle rural authenticity.
