this is the perfect place to sit and have conversation with yourself.. its very rare to find a place where u can get lost and only be left with your ownself. Watch horizon.. the waves, the clouds or jus the city lights. It all so enchanting and intriguing. Whether u r a couple, a loner, a family, a parent.. u will always find the best spot for yourself. No matter what role u play!

A Nice view of sunset in the winter, away from all the tension.. can enjoy the evening breeze with the beauty of the mother nature. The sad part of this area is water is very polluted here.
