Sure. I recommend a place near the mountain. It is as peaceful as this place. They are old but has a diverse past. Good thing the locals preserved these places quite well.

They really did a great job in preserving this place. Look at this temple! It is so fascinating! Thank you for bringing me to this place.
No problem, Ron. Before we enter the temple, just make sure to remove your shoes.
