Tall bamboos aligned both sides of the walking path and they are very attractive particularly when a light wind blow and the stalks would sway gently back and forth. Walking into the rich bamboo grove is like entering a magical world. It becomes enchanting when you hear the whistling of the leaves when the wind blows through it.
The best time to visit is early morning or late afternoon when the crowd is less. You will be unable to resist taking photos but you can not capture the serenity of the place.
You can also rent a rickshaw to explore the area.
The bamboo has been used to manufacture various products, such as baskets, cups, boxes and mats , chopsticks and even used as fences .
How to get to the bamboo grove
