this hospital's layout is honestly impressive - designed really well. the whole space flows nicely and is full of big trees. nature adds a calm, shady vibe that just feels right. it’s kind of like being at a foresty resort, super chill. totally loved the atmosphere - just beautiful and breezy. amazing spot if you ask me. totaly unique.

Visited mid-2019 for a study trip - learned about the history and mission of the place. Super quiet, wide open, and shady. it’s peaceful and full of character. The staff shared everything in a super friendly way. the seniors we met looked happy and relaxed. cool part - lots of retirees from other countries choose this place too. Definitely made a strong imprssion.
