Little Island

Little Island, despite its reputation as a popular tourist destination, held a special place in my heart as one of my initial and most cherished discoveries. While it may become crowded and touristy during the day, making it somewhat challenging to fully enjoy, my perspective shifted dramatically when I decided to visit a few hours before the park closed.

During this quieter time, Little Island revealed a different, more enchanting side to me, particularly in the hidden nook where the atrium is nestled, shielded from the bustling road and overlooking the tranquil river. As evening descended, it transformed into a place of unparalleled beauty. The sunset painted the sky with vibrant hues before gradually giving way to the city's sparkling lights.

In this serene setting, time seemed to slow down, and a deep sense of calm settled in. It was as if I had discovered an entirely new dimension of Little Island, one where the city's energy harmonized with the natural world, creating a magical and unforgettable experience.
