Arrived at noon, a male staff member at the door told us that the battery car could not be opened and could only walk. Fortunately, after walking for a while, the sea breeze blew, and I met the young lady who drove the battery car. Let us make up the ticket halfway and go to the light building. The platform is still very beautiful."
