More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of an air‑conditioned car into a humidity that presses gently against your shirt, and the first sound is chattering—quick, clever, and territorial. Long‑tailed macaques move through the trees at the Sacred Monkey Forest as if they own the map, while farther up a valley the rice terraces climb like stairs cut into the earth and the waterfall bolts water into a cool, echoing bowl.
