I was there today as well.
Looking at the photos and where you took them, we might even have crossed each other today! ^__^
Luckily it was cloudy most of the time and thus not as hot as I feared it would be. 😀
Your photos are awesome. I brought the wrong lens, so mine aren’t that close-up! 🙁

Wow love these photos! I was lucky enough to be at one of the corners where they use the bamboo to manually turn it and I got to see everything!
