very interesting and informative. Key tip is to hire and ride a bike there. easy to find and more fun way to get around than taxi. be prepared to do some reading there, but lots of fun facts and cool stories to take in

In a 10 minutes drive form lakeside you can arrive at this lovely museum, located inside a big park with interesting replica of a mountain village. There are a lot of artifacts, photos and a little cinema room too where they screen documetnaries.

I did not expect anything from the Museum, but in the end I was positively surprised. Afterwards I had a better understanding of the surrounding area and the people that live here.
