You can buy it on the spot, which is convenient. The site is not very big, the bigger one is the inflatable park, but there are not too many people on weekdays, so it's okay. I bought the admission ticket on klook and found that there is a student discount for buying tickets on site in June, which can enjoy 15% off.

It is very convenient to redeem the buffet with QR code. The restaurant environment and hygiene are good, the staff are also very polite, there are many types of food choices, and the cost performance is high. It is worth recommending. :)

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.

I took the children to make gifts for the teachers. I chose small handbags. The finished product was very beautiful and the environment was also very good. I will take the children to participate in other workshops next time.

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.

It's close to the station and the building is new so it's clean. All the staff I met were nice. There is no water, but it seems you can buy it cheaply at the front desk. There was a hair dryer, slippers, and a refrigerator.
