August 2024There’s a Summer Fountain, the kids are so happy to play with water there, full of kids’ laughter. That area is gorgeous, can’t stop taking pictures, trying to capture all the amazing scene there. Try to go inside the building, but can’t really find the way to view the exhibition, just found one which requires ticket to go in. Anyway, the fountain area in the middle worth a visit already, too beautiful!
