The temple itself is very beautiful. The park it's nice for a walk, pick-nick, and relaxing. Normally there are many people during the weekends for team activities, to play, what is also a nice see. More

If you go there in the afternoon, you'll be getting a discount on the food items as some vendors don't want to pack up their left overs! More
