1. ** Be sure to go on a sunny day! ** On cloudy/hazy days, the visibility is poor, and the high-altitude viewing experience will be greatly reduced.
2. There are many people during the peak period of the elevator. If you want to stagger the peak, you can climb the tower before 14:00 or after 19:30
3. The price of catering in the tower is high, you can bring your own drinking water, and the study coffee is about 40 yuan/cup.
4. If you bring the elderly and children, take care not to run by the glass. The open-air platform is windy and pay attention to keeping warm.
5. Tickets are valid on the same day. You need to buy a new ticket after leaving the park.
