Visitors are drawn to its tranquil atmosphere, where the sound of the river replaces the city's traffic. The area is a favorite for photographers looking to capture the fairytale-like stone buildings and lush greenery. While it has become a popular tourist destination, it remains a peaceful residential pocket where locals enjoy scenic walks.
