There are centuries-old ancient temples left by history and nature. Some are thousands of acres of tea gardens, and some are surrounded by green mountains. I invite everyone to come here to heal your anxious, restless soul. The people here are making a sunrise, and they are living in peace and quiet, living their ordinary life.”

The journalists expressed their fascination and love for the island, which they found tranquil and soothing for travellers longing for the ideal getaway to unwind themselves.
