This is the most beautiful place in Guayaquil, Lighthouse Hill, which is located on the seashore. Its landmark building is a blue and white lighthouse. The terrain here is very high, and you can overlook the entire surrounding scenery and the beautiful sea view from afar. This is also where tourists gather in Guayaquil. It is very lively and must not be missed.

The botanical garden is located in the city, making it a very important public open platform. The plank roads under the trees and the dotted ponds are very well made. Although the flowers and trees here are not very distinctive, walking along the winding paths, watching the statues along the way passing by the small balls and flowing water, it is still quite different in South America.
