Upon arrival at the foot of the mountain, you will climb steps to the best observation point on the hillside. The graceful curve of the terrace is just like ribbons crosses or parallels with each other, winding to the sky. Lunch is arranged by yourself. Your guide will be happy to give you some advice.
