Note: Be sure to buy your tickets in advance 💰 if you buy online as tickets can't be sold so quickly. We went to the scene at seven o 'clock this time, after buying tickets, did not issue tickets quickly, saw a lot of people go up, anxious, and finally bought at the scene.
If the ticket price is one big and one small: 💰330 RMB
There's a passage through time. It's the only way. Then there's the queue. It was pretty fast. A warehouse can sit a dozen or twenty people, and there are romantic packages for a whole warehouse to eat Western food inside!
It's all glass, and you can walk around. Don't worry about not seeing the view. The night view is really beautiful! The whole trip takes about half an hour. The last exit is the souvenir shop! Thousands and thousands!! Don't buy it!! Because of a refrigerator sticker, here sell 8 new, more than 40 yuan.
