Herb Hillz Ecological Park

This is how the park name is actually spelled. The aroma of most of the park was pleasant. You can smell many different kinds of herbs, some of which are commonly used for medicinal purposes in most of Asia. Besides the great landscape, the zip line obstacle courses is one of, if not the main, attraction here. I'm about 60 feet in the air and wearing steel cables that prevent me from plunging to the ground. I took the intermediate course and it was fairly challenging. I plan on coming back for the advanced course next time.

There's the name of the park in the background! I told you I wasn't hallucinating!

Great performance by these ladies. They combined techno with string & keyboard instruments and opera vocals.
