❌ The explanation of "The Closest Man to the Sun - Tibetan Folk Culture Exhibition" lasted for 30 minutes, but the explanation was very general at that time, and I felt that I read the famous brand of cultural relics again

❌ The explanation of the Memorial Hall of the Liberation of One Million Serfs in Tibet lasts for 30 minutes, but it takes more than 10 people to explain it.
