The area is planted with flowers and trees such as cherry blossoms, bougainvillea, and century-old almond trees, boasting rich ecological surroundings. White egrets and wild ducks are often seen swimming on the water, making it an ideal place for visitors to enjoy a tranquil escape from the hustle and bustle.
