    If you go there on May Day, you must exchange paper tickets, otherwise the items you play cannot be written off. The environment of the scenic spot is good, it is quite clean, the staff are polite, and the service is good. The scenery during the day is average, and it is better to play at night. It is recommended to go in the afternoon or at night. However, if you want to play items, it is recommended to go earlier in the morning. There are fewer people and basically no need to queue. After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, there are many people. Many items have to wait in line for a long time. I bought a full set of tickets and went with my family. Many items are not allowed for children to play. They are not high enough and are more dangerous. There are few motorized items for children to play. There are super many people at night. You can watch performances, light tube shows, and other things to play. You can basically play all day long. Overall, it is okay and worth recommending.
