Visiting Suggestions
- It is recommended to allocate 1–2 hours, following the day's schedule along the route; there is no need to make a special trip back and forth.
- It is crowded during peak season, so the best experience is during the opening hours in the morning. Some attractions require real-name reservations through official channels, so check before departure.
- There are usually other attractions in the same city nearby, which can be combined with adjacent spots on the same route into a half-day plan.
