    "Very worth going. Selected exhibits can see other exhibits at the Louvre, Jimei Asia and the Osay Museum in Paris. Such as mummified coffins, Pharaoh's stone statues, Rodin sculptures, Monet's paintings. The hall is spacious and quiet, and the exhibits are detailed. Special exhibitions are very meaningful, stories of different periods create bracelets. The building is very distinctive, the scenery outside is beautiful, and you can also see the sailing boat. The restaurant food is very good."

    "First of all, living in Yas Island is a few attractions. There is a free shuttle bus. The ticket at the door seems to be 680. Ctrip is definitely the most cost-effective. The outside heat is very powerful. The air conditioner inside is very powerful. Arabia knows its temperature. Entering the square is a different sky. Although the amusement park is all indoor meals. The hall and gift shop are on the right. The cartoon children's playground is Batman's Gotham City and DC Hero. Each building can go in and experience different 5D+ 360° Skyscreen Advanced service is very good. There is no extra charge for all kinds of photos. Basic workdays are not queued for each project. It is worth a visit."

    "Like Warner Bros. Paradise, it is more convenient to scan the entrance with the QR code. There is a security check at the door. You can not bring food and drinks. You can enter the main square. 5 entrances can enter the play separately. The seal performance is still good. The penguin world needs thick clothes. It is too cold. The staff are standing in down jackets. The children's playground also has a roller coaster jumping machine. The most shocking thing is Liu Yifei's 20-meter aquarium glass aquarium escalator. It is worth a compact park for 3 to 4 hours."
