The card is easy to use, just show the QR code to the staff and importantly, buying in the app is much cheaper. There is a promotion like 2 adults + 1 child, great value.

The person who led our trip today was Bank. He was very considerate of each group member. There were only 12 group members today, 2 of whom were Mexicans. Bank also took care of their needs with mobile phone translation. The two Mexican grandmas were also very enthusiastic and generous in teaching us how to take photos. We were very satisfied with today's trip!

Shuimomen Temple is a very famous national temple, Qiliufu Temple and Xiang Temple Temple. If you haven’t been there, you can go there. It seems that the whole family can take a walk with the kids.
