Know This
If you’re male, wear long pants. While ladies, would need to wear the robes, which they provide for free.
I recommend walking on the bridge to take some photos from a distance. It can get quite hot, but it’s worth it.
One thing you need to be careful is the opening hours especially on Friday, it only open from 4pm-5pm, 5:30-6pm
