Serene Lake
Serene Lake is a large lake of 3.5 km (around the lake) at the south of the airport. It’s a great place to watch the sunset, run, or have a coffee. There are also ruins of a temple in the middle of the water. Entering is guarded by guards, but it is free. If they stop you, just say that you are going to do sports or go to the café.
