  • Very nice Historic walkway with a few restaurants. The waterfalls along the path are super nice especially on a warm sunny day! There isn't much to do here except a few restaurants, it says there is retail shopping, but there isn't. We asked and there is 1 store, so if you are planning to shop that will not happen here. The old buildings are well preserved and nicely done. It took about 20 minutes to walk it. Other than walking and bit to eat there isn't anything to really do here.
  • Absolutely love this campus! The water views are amazing(better at night). I can literally sit her for hours listening to the flowing water and watching the birds 🐦 play around. There are some restaurants located on campus, so if you get hungry you can eat.
