4 Nov 2019Preorder entrance tickets, even then be prepared to queue. For hours.
2/5 - Disappointing
Verified traveller
2 Nov 2019Big queues to enter and pretty much a shuffling queue inside even though it was very late afternoon. All the side altars and statues curtained off, not allowed to sit down....if you’ve been before don’t go again because your memory will be spoiled.
5/5 - Excellent
