I booked the Silver Pass on Klook, arrived early on the day of use, paid an additional fee, and changed to the Gold Pass. It was the rainy season, so it was quiet and I enjoyed it, and the food was delicious. So, even though I paid the additional fee, I had a very enjoyable day.

Great trip, the driver arrived on time to pick up, the on-site staff were very enthusiastic, they all knew a little Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean, they would teach you how to take pictures and were willing to help you take pictures and record videos with your mobile phone👍 They would not refuse to help because you were asked to buy photos
