It is named for its enchanting azure blue waters, which change shades from light blue to deep blue depending on the sunlight and viewing angle, resembling a sparkling gemstone. This hidden gem has become a popular spot for visitors to capture stunning photos. Since it is not a designated tourist attraction, the area retains its natural and untouched charm.
