You can have a good understanding of the history of the Northeast. Adults and children are suitable for visiting places."

    "The location of the drama is good. Although it is not as eye-catching as the Shengjing Grand Theater, the location is very good and the transportation is convenient. Parking is in the small alley opposite the central courtyard. There are many locations. You can find it yourself and there is no charge. The parking lot sells water and roasted sweet potatoes, but it is not allowed to eat inside. The ticket exchange is diagonally opposite the entrance of the original parking lot, facing the left hand side of the building. It is not particularly convenient to go up an outdoor staircase to enter the door. It is OK, there is an elevator, very clean, and there are boxes for storage. I have seen it in the hall, there are concerts, ballets, dramas, etc. You can buy tickets on the public account, and now they are all real-name systems. This is the first time I have come to the small theater. The effect is very good and I feel very close to the actors."

    "The water hole still has to go to see it once. I bought a joint ticket for the dry hole and the water hole. I went early in the morning and it was cooler. I didn't take the battery car. The temperature in the water hole was low. We wore a jacket and a pair of autumn pants in thin pants. It was warm and it was a bit cold but within the tolerance. If Benxi does not travel by car, it is more convenient to take the elderly and children to the water cave, and there are many buses."
