Exploring the stunning Big Buddha in Kathu was definitely a highlight for our family, as the views from the top were simply breathtaking. While the local tastes we sampled were mostly delightful, we did wish there were a few more options to choose from during the tour.

We found ourselves immersed in a vibrant blend of culture and taste during our recent excursion, which beautifully showcased local traditions. The visit to a particularly striking temple left us in awe, with its intricate designs and serene atmosphere providing a moment of reflection amidst our busy travels. The views from the nearby vantage point were breathtaking, offering a spectacular contrast to the bustling streets below. However, we did feel that some of the local delicacies could have been introduced with a bit more context about their significance. Overall, this experience offered a delightful balance of sights and flavors, enhancing our understanding of the region’s rich heritage.
