    "After arriving, I ran all the way to the pier to board the boat to watch the show. It took a boat to the middle of the lake to see the show. After watching the show garden, I took a little photo and turned off the lights. It was still good to turn on the lights. I thought about taking pictures at the gate after I came out, but the lights at the gate were also off. It is recommended that the lights at the door be turned off at night."

    "This place is a must if you are interested in the chinese history! The overall enjoyment is not the best due to the amount of people in there (have to sometimes squeeze in or wait to see the artefacts) and it is a little bit warm. Trip.com used the wrong passport number for one of the tickets (out of 4). The museum employee is however nice enough to still issue a ticket for me after confirming the other 3 tickets have the correct passport number."
