The air is very fresh and the Hindu temple above is also beautiful. The cable car is worth a ride. From the top of the mountain, you can see very beautiful mountain scenery, covered with clouds. And you can choose to walk down the mountain. Remember to bring a camera on the mountain, the scenery is too beautiful."
