Reviews
The beginning of the tour, the temple, and its ending at the tower were fantastic. Visiting the old church was completely pointless. You could even go to the postal museum. There are certainly more interesting places. Guide for 6th grade.
Great places. Dinner at the Lotus Tower was phenomenal.
