Travel Recommendations
- It is recommended to set aside 1–2 hours and arrange it according to the daily pace of your current route; there is no need to make a separate round trip solely for this.
- It is crowded during the peak season, and the best experience is in the morning when it opens; some attractions require real-name reservations through official channels, so check in advance before departure.
- There are usually other attractions in the same city nearby, which can be combined with adjacent attractions on the same route for a half-day trip.
Related Reminders
