    It happened to be raining during our city tour, hence the experience is not the best. And it was quite crowded even on a Sunday night. It's worth to experience it once to see the building with lights and enjoy the breeze

    This is a must-visit place every October because it's my child's birthday. The hotel environment is the same as before, full of themes and fun, a bit old, and the toys are a bit dirty. The service was good this time, and I prepared a surprise for my child. We must give it a good review. There are 3 parks across the street, and the theme park is still the first choice, followed by the water park.

    The place isn't particularly big, but it's still quite fun. I'd recommend going there; they have themed events during festivals, and the large swimming pool has entertainment at certain times, which is quite enjoyable.

    There are some big reef tanks with gigantic sea creatures. Some tanks keep common species just to keep them filled i guess. Crowd control is bad as people were forced to stand on a slow conveyor in the tunnel section.At the exit, there is a long line as visitors are forced behind the photo booth even if they do not want to take photo.

    I stayed in room 401 and it had an amazing view of the Chew Jetties! It’s also in a good location and walkable to many other sightseeing places nearby. There’s also a lot of good restaurants around and at night lots of good street food across the hotel.

    The sea in Capalle Island is crystal clear and the beach is quiet, suitable for relaxation. The water villa on the island is very distinctive and can dive directly into the sea to swim. The coral and marine life here are rich, it is a good place for diving lovers, and the environment is relatively quiet.

    The style of Hayao Miyazaki's paintings. You need to queue up for about two hours for the small train. You enter in batches and reach the top of the mountain. You can overlook the pier. There is a restaurant on the top of the mountain with beautiful prices. Drink some beer or coffee and enjoy the breeze. It is very comfortable. Hinduism, Islam, and Catholicism gather together in harmony.
