The luxurious decoration inside the palace is worth a visit. In addition, the garden part was not arranged because of lack of time. However, after visiting the palace, I went out and saw the garden. I felt that it was a pity. I felt that the garden was more worth visiting!

Booking tickets with klook is great. You can book even if the day is close to the visit date and you can use the QR code without having to pick up the tickets again at the palace.

Entry was very prompt and even though we were 1 hour late, the staff now let us into the fastest team to enter! Buy this pass with express access, the museum especially the mirror room and garden worth seeing, outside the museum you can rent a golf cart to drive yourself, or buy a ticket to take a small train around the museum and garden, the whole journey is about 40 minutes, if you want If you can quickly walk around the entire garden, it is recommended to take a small train.
