Tips Before You Visit

Planning to go? Here are some suggestions. 

Visit during the daytime as evenings get super congested, and moving around becomes tough. Parking? Forget about it. There's none nearby. Walk in from adjacent streets instead.

If you love photography, bring your camera. The textures, the colors, the faces, it's a goldmine for heritage shots.
