Sicao Green Tunnel | Whispers of the Water Forest

The small boat glides gently into the Sicao Green Tunnel, where the mangroves on both sides arch into a canopy, their reflections mirrored on the water, as if stepping into a scene from a Studio Ghibli animation. Sunlight filters through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, while water birds forage nearby and occasional fish stir ripples in the tranquil waters, creating a dreamlike serenity.

The guide softly narrates the story of this wetland: once a defensive fortification, now an ecological haven. I listen quietly, feeling my breath grow lighter. This is not a hurried journey, but a moment of dialogue with nature. As the boat emerges from the tunnel, the sea breeze greets us, as if whispering—welcome back.
