    "Quanzhou has been in red hot these days, and the blue sea and blue sky are very beautiful, but it is really not dry. Arrived at noon, a male staff member at the door told us that the battery car could not be opened and could only walk. Fortunately, after walking for a while, the sea breeze blew, and I met the young lady who drove the battery car. Let us make up the ticket halfway and go to the light building. The platform is still very beautiful."

    "The ticket for this puppet show is not the puppet theater, but an organization called 7fun. The key is that this address is in the vegetable market, just upstairs in the vegetable market. Below is the messy vegetable market. Although the upstairs decoration is not bad, it is impossible to accept such a performance environment. The performance is just average."
