炙热的目光:“The Miracle House is on the coast of Zanzibar, a palace of pillar buildings. Now it's a museum. Despite years of disrepair and mottled land, some areas have collapsed. But from the high bell tower in the middle, the columns on both sides and the salute cannon in front of the door, we can still see the past brilliance.”

Noel:“It's not bad. The entrance fee to the island is 4 US dollars. Now the price has increased. Everything in Africa has increased in price very quickly. I didn't expect to come here, but I had nothing to do and suddenly decided to come and see it. I didn't expect it to be so special. It's really fun to watch the big turtle”

The food is very good and the service is also very good. No tipping is required. It is best to book in advance so that you can get a better seat.”

657***27:“The environment is average. It is similar to most small restaurants in Stone City. It is located in a small alley and on the second floor. The sushi is average, mainly because the rice is poor. The key is that we ordered a piece of cheesecake, but fortunately we checked it before eating, and it was full of mold spots. We returned it. It really affected our appetite.”
