Why not write your wishes in a Oyster Shell?
This is very unique. It is interesting to know that HASE DERA has some relationship with Oyster.
You can write your wish in Oyster shell and hang it besides the small hall where the Oyster is a principal objects.
Some donation needed to receive the shell and hang them! (Kindly there is an instruction in English!)

Another high lights is a hall build in natural cave. There are (were) 12 statue placed in side the cave. "Were" means that the original is now moved to the museum build behind the main hall.
But you will see scratches on the wall that makes you believe that this cave is a collaboration between nature and human
