Yekaterina Garden tickets are 120 yuan, very cost-effective. The garden is very large, and many people entering the palace may need to enter in batches, just to go slowly to the garden. But I don't understand why Chinese should turn the lake inside into a pond. Anyway, the lake can be worthy of the grandeur of the Ye Palace Palace. The huge garden seems to have only one bathroom, but it can be solved by entering the Ye Palace Palace. Palace tickets are sold in the palace, and the bathroom is in the hall.
