This is an exhibition that fans of the Conjuring movie shouldn't miss because the exhibition has complete replications of important scenes from the movie with every detail. There is also a little ghost to create an atmosphere for us to enjoy the visit. The staff are also lovely and friendly. Overall, it's great.

The overall experience was great. Tour guides can decently speak English. They are on time. They make sure that their guests are really in good hands. I love their temples, such an experience.

It's a very good experience, fun and interesting. I look forward to going there again next time. However, many photography projects require extra charges, and the prices are not too cheap.

It was a last minute booking. We had Mr Fa as our guide. It was a very enjoyable trip. It was really worth the money. My mum loved this trip, can sat on hundred year old train and longboat. The cafe food was delicious despite we booked without lunch. And thanks for the guide Mr Fa and his driver together with other passagers being patience with my mum who had difficult of walking.
