    "Nanshan Tower is one of Seoul's classic attractions. You can buy tickets at the ticket office at the bottom of the tower. There is a manual ticket office, you can also choose to scan the code to buy tickets at Trip.com , and there will be staff to help write off. The elevator can only sit on the fifth floor, and then go up to a French restaurant, which cannot be reached by ordinary browsing. When taking the elevator, the staff will invite you to watch the small short film in the elevator, but the short film speed is very fast, the content is also general, it looks a bit dizzy... to the fifth floor overlooking the city scenery, densely arranged. There are also cultural and creative sales on the fifth floor, and the price is relatively reasonable, similar to the price of domestic scenic spots."

    "A small park with a good view, relatively small and no amusement facilities, just climb a small slope to see the crater and reeds. We strolled slowly in the light rainy weather and came out in about 40 minutes. The orange hats in the gift shop here are cheaper than Sunrise Peak and Niudao, and the variety is a little more haha"

    "A must-visit place in Qingzhou, tickets are not required. Maybe it was catching up with the event? At first glance, it is a Buddhist holy place that has been hammered by history.
