Koreans believe that people born in the Year of the Snake are smart. Because in the Chinese zodiac, the snake symbolizes wisdom. However, stories about snakes usually portray snakes as scary creatures. The appearance of snakes, the aggressiveness of some snakes, and their deadly venom have created an instinctive fear in humans. Therefore, snakes are portrayed as creatures that follow the transcendent and punish evildoers.
Although humans are afraid of snakes, they also believe that snakes are sacred. This is because I am amazed by the way snakes grow by shedding their skins and their survival instincts of disappearing in winter and reappearing in spring. Due to these characteristics, snakes travel between different dimensional worlds and are even considered sacred creatures that bring blessings and prosperity to humans.
In this way, snakes have become scary and righteous, disgusting and wonderful, familiar and sacred, and live with us. To celebrate the Year of the Snake, this exhibition attempts to examine the lives of humans who live with snakes. I hope you have a prosperous Lunar New Year and everything goes according to plan, overcoming the complex human mind and creating a thousand faces for an animal called snake.

I have been looking for a long time to change the ticket. In fact, it is better to plan it above. It is better to climb the road. It is completely OK to rely on two legs. If you are old or your knees are not good, go down the mountain and take the cable car.

Very satisfied, every time I go to Seoul, I go to Aibao Paradise. Although Fubao has returned home, there are other pandas and grandpas. In addition to Panda Paradise, there are many outdoor amusement projects, and the dining price is reasonable.

The show is really wonderful! ! ! I bought 20 o&#39;clock, and I can pick up the ticket at 19:30. They are all packed in the envelope in advance and tell the name of the front desk lady. You can&#39;t take pictures and videos throughout the whole process, but it&#39;s really wonderful. I can&#39;t express it in words hahaha. Fortunately, I have interacted, so happy, be bold, as long as you reach out, you will basically hit your palms with you 🖐🏻

What attractions in Seoul are worth visiting? It is estimated that it is Gyeongbokgung Palace, Gyeongbokgung Palace, Qingwatai, Korean Folk Museum and Modern Art Museum are connected together. You can go shopping together. The whole Gyeongbokgung Palace is still quite big, a little bit small. The feeling of the Temple of Heaven, tickets 3,000 won, If you wear traditional Korean clothes for free tickets, the whole trip is about 1 hour, and it is very good to take pictures everywhere~
