After the experience, I think the value of this money is worth. There are tour guides to explain and no explanations. The tour guide is very professional. I want to know more about the collection of Shanxi Museum. Friends, it is very recommended."

    "When I went there, I had already bought tickets online in advance. After I arrived at the scene, I still needed to queue up to enter the scene. I thought it was a lot of people. The scene was chaotic and the current limit was probably limited. I never expected that people here had explanations and guidance in batches, and the arrangement was very reasonable. There is no extra charge for watching movies. Personally feel that it is worth the money, it is worth bringing children to feel and understand."
