Visiting Tips
- It is recommended to allocate 1–2 hours, arranging it according to the day's schedule on your current route, without needing to make a special trip solely for it.
- 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 you go.
- There are usually other nearby attractions in the same city, which can be combined with adjacent spots on the same route for a half-day visit.
Related Reminders
The specific opening hours and ticket policies are subject to the official announcements on the day of your visit; if you are driving or using a chartered car, be aware that nearby parking spaces may be tight during holidays.
