    "It has been the fourth time, there are many people, must arrive in advance, queue before ten o'clock, if you book a ticket, if you are over 65 years old, you can bring your passport to buy a ticket on the spot. You can book a ticket on Trip.com normally, that is, the ticket email is not sent in time, which affects the visit."

    "There's way too much to see! You could probably spend a whole day in there and be just halfway done with the exhibits. It was rather crowded with a lot of children running around but the overall crowd control was pretty decent. It's not too expensive but if you really want to avoid the ticket fees, go in 30 min before closing. It's free but I'm not sure how much of it can you enjoy."

This is the only place in the city where you can see famous airplanes, a military submarine, an aircraft carrier of the Second World War and much more.

    "Classic tracks, too camouflage performances, the band scene is seamless with dancers, and the charm of Broadway musicals is infinite. Be sure to experience it in New York. The stage is not big, the seats are basically not too bad, and you can see the dancers' wonderful moments."

    "The Harry Potter store in New York is said to be the largest in the world. It has three floors and 15 themed areas in the store. From storefronts to goods, there are full Harry Potter memories. There is also a huge model of phoenix birds in the store, and the sphinx head beast hovering overhead. I feel that every corner can be patted, and there are 4 college-themed souvenirs. It is said that you can design your own wand or college robe DIY. The people in the store are also endless. After entering, they feel that they are pushed forward all the way. Of course, the main purpose of coming to punch in is to come to Butter Beer. Next to the exit is a large food area. The starlight decoration is quite mysterious. The butter beer is cold and refreshing. Harry Potter's custom plastic cup is installed. After drinking, you can take the cup away. The top is full of butter. Drinking sweet, non-alcoholic can rest assured to punch in, their small biscuits are also very cute, the appearance is said to be a bit sweet, but the appearance value punching in, pat can not stop"
