Originally, I couldn't get tickets for the miniature train, so I opted for a boat tour instead. It turned out to be the best two hours of the trip. The interaction between the boatman and passengers was a plus, and the beautiful scenery along the way was truly relaxing, allowing me to completely immerse myself in nature.
