Reviews from Real Guests:

엘루피니: I went to see the night view in winter and it was so pretty. It's so spacious that there are many things to see and every time I take a picture, I'm going to take a picture of life shot 😍 inside the amber carriage and in front of a small church. I came and smelt and ate at the entrance. The oyster and whirlpool potatoes were also delicious🙂

AlexCH: Worth going, the lighting of the night scene is beautiful, but the photo is high on the camera and you have to be prepared. I especially like Figure 1, like the sea, it looks very comfortable.
