An island of trails, kingdoms, and living heritage — compressed geography, deep time.

Landscape bands
Dry-zone plains hold many ancient cities; the wet southwest holds rainforest energy; the centre holds tea and cloud. Knowing which band you sleep in explains both dawn temperature and the temple stone you will touch by midday.
