This viewpoint originally used to be a few small roadside warungs, set up as a rest stop for the locals to have a meal and a coffee with a view. It’s now a popular Instagram spot attracting tourists and locals from all over the island.
The small warungs have been relocated and the new and improved viewpoint consists of man-made bamboo amusement features overlooking Lake Buyan.
