Description and Is it Worth Visiting
Guiwanon Spring Park is a mangrove Ecopark on Sikihore. Wooden walkways-bridges for walking are equipped above the water near the shore in the place of active growth of mangroves. During a walk along the bridges you will see the mangroves themselves, large and small fish in the water, and a source of fresh water that has made its way from the ground directly into the salty sea waters. A walk along the Bridges takes 5-10 minutes, and ends with a house in which there should be a cafe, karaoke, spa, and even separate houses for recreation. But at the time of our visit (end of 2019) all of this was not working and looked abandoned.
We advise you to visit this place only if you have never had a chance to walk through the mangroves. At low tide, there is nothing much to do here, the water goes away.
