A bay of blue waters, contrasting with the green of the vegetation of the island, from where you will see a figure of a big golden Buddha, you are greeted in the northwest of the island. A small spring in a village is the landing place where a van will be waiting for you to take you to your hotel. If not, do not worry because you can find transportation at the pier to inspect the island and find your perfect place.
A small wooden darsena leads you to some tourist info points and places to buy food, etc.., In small cabins of handmade brick and wood, this island still has the charm of the perfect haven to discover.
