Excellent experience. Beautiful setting, loved the drive through the town also. It is a bit of a hike down to the building and back up, be warned! It is worth the trip for the scenery alone.

The walking paths, stones and plants are so inspiring, well kept, and beautiful that I hope they keep a close eye on this place and take good care of it forever. Also, I made a big wish by throwing a coin into that tiny waterfall fountain thing and against all odds, it came true!
