The tour guide will explain in English and take us to get a free lunch coupon with our passports. The lunch tastes good, and there are also video watching and interactive sessions.

还不曾去过倒悬山!:“The most powerful cultural warrior in Iran or Persia wrote the Book of Kings. It is hard for me to compare it, it is a bit similar to our Historical Records. Thanks to him, Iranians today can understand that lost civilization. Darius! Cyrus! Xerxes! The Book of Kings is still being performed in various places in Iran.”
