From the train you can see tropical plants on the left, such as breadfruit and longan trees, lychee and rambutan trees, koa acacias, as well as agricultural machinery and the Tanada reservoir. If you sit on the right, you can see mangoes , heliconias (bird of paradise flowers) and possibly the return train.
