    噼里啪啦噼里啪啦

    [Jalisco❥Guadalajara] Mexicans are really unorganized. Even the way they look at museums shocked me. Give me a bench and lie down and read. It’s useless to talk about laws and rules in this country. It’s not as practical as saying Amigo.

    The Cabañas Almshouse was originally built to care for and shelter those who have difficulties in life, such as some lonely elderly people or disabled people. Later, as more and more people were helped, the scale was constantly expanding. Because the design of the entire almshouse is very distinctive, it not only has exquisite sculptures, but also gorgeous murals. It is itself an architectural work of art, so it is worth visiting.

    His tickets are sold in a trial package. I bought the package that has everything. It is 250 pesos for adults. You can ride on all the facilities in the park, but you can only ride on the sky zoo and safari once! I arrived around a little before five o'clock, and all the facilities were used and all the animals were seen.

    A place worth visiting. Among the many churches in Guadalajara, the Church of the Atonement is the most beautiful and artistic one. It is also a leisurely holy place that our local Chinese often visit. If you go there on a sunny day, you will find a different style!
