The scope of the park is not large, but the tour guide's explanations are very careful and enthusiastic. It can give you an in-depth understanding of the real situation of early coal mines, which is a very special experience. If you are on the way to Pingxi, it is worth a visit when you have time! 😊

It was a very informative composition. The weather was nice and hot, but the photos came out very pretty. If I had come as a free traveler, there would have been many things I would have missed, but the daily tour guide, Yeongsim, explained various things in a fun way, so it was a more meaningful tour. I really recommend Yeongsim. In that sense, I will go to Yeongsim's 3-line poem Yeong-Yeongsim guide, Sim-not boring, and Lee-pretty (the legs are the best Kim)
