You can request incense for free at all the places of worship ✅ Praying requires climbing to the 7th floor, the elevator only goes to the 4th floor, so you have to climb 3 floors ✅ When lighting incense, do not blow it out with your mouth, do not step on the threshold when entering the hall, and be respectful when worshipping ✅ It's very necessary to take the tourist bus for the elderly and children, as touring the entire park takes about 3 hours ✅ You cannot enter the park after 5 pm, and the tourist bus stops running at 6:30 pm
