Nara Station can take the bus, but after the city hall will be very traffic jam, it is recommended that the city hall get off, take the personal tunnel, a few hundred meters. The park is very large, there are a lot of deer along the way, it is the Spring Festival Club, and it is a toll attraction to go west to Ruocao Mountain. The journey takes about 20 minutes.

Going to Nara, if you don&#39;t go to Dongdaeji, it&#39;s a pity. Because you will miss the hall of the world&#39;s largest wooden structure, you will also miss the great opportunity to feel the charm of Tang Feng, and it is even more difficult to experience the joy of Liang Sicheng and other Chinese architectural masters who found Wutaishan Foguang Temple!
