It is very convenient to buy coupons on Klook. You can use them immediately after purchase. You can buy cakes, bread and pastries. It is great. Price: Buying 2 coupons is equivalent to 14% off, which is better than other offers of Maxim's.

The building is quite new, and the interior layout is grand and well designed. There are not many cultural relics in the collection, and it only takes about 2-3 hours to visit them. Although there are walking signs all the way out of the MTR Kowloon Station, I still took a long detour and spent 20 minutes to get to the back door. The most convenient way is to take the minibus at the main entrance, which can directly reach the MTR and the main entrance of the Palace Museum.
