More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step off the speedboat onto Kite Cruise as the harbor shrinks behind you and the karst towers begin to appear like stone islands rising from green water. The deck smells of sea salt and simmering broth; passengers drift between the Skybar and the railing, watching gulls challenge the wind while the captain threads between islets.
