💡 Handy Tips:
- Wear quick-dry clothing and creek shoes—essentials for water activities.
- Sunscreen is a must! The bamboo forest has strong UV rays.
- Laiman Resort has 33 rooms, including family rooms with scenic bathtubs. Book 3 days in advance for the best view.
- The mountain roads are winding. Drive slowly and be cautious when passing other vehicles.
