A viewing deck reaching out over the harbour, looking towards the bridge at sunset.
The glass-floored deck steps out over the harbour where the fishing fleet moors. It is a short stop rather than a destination in itself — come towards evening, when the water turns copper and the lights of the bridge switch on behind the boats.
Follow the southern coast through forested islands, waterfront paths, cliffside temples and cities shaped by the sea.
- 01Glass floor over the harbour
- 02Sunset over the fishing fleet
- 03Walkable from the old town
Take your time here
The best visits are unhurried. Notice how the landscape, everyday life and local history meet here, then leave room for the details that are easy to miss at first glance.
