Travel Recommendations
- It is recommended to allow 1–2 hours and schedule it according to the pace of the day's itinerary; there is no need to make a separate trip just for this site.
- It is crowded during peak season, and the experience is best during the morning opening hours; some attractions require real-name reservations through official channels, so confirm before departure.
- There are usually other nearby attractions in the same city, which can be combined with adjacent sites on the same route for a half-day excursion.
Related Reminders
