    This is a group of Western-style buildings where foreigners who lived in Nagasaki in the earliest period lived. You can also learn about the historical development of this place. It is worth taking the time to visit and take photos.

    I used to live next to the Peace Park and go out every day, so I have feelings for it... The environment is very good! Especially in the morning, it is quiet and a new day is about to start, so this time I went to Hiroshima, and I went to the Peace Park, which was returned by boat after visiting Miyashima (you can also return by JR on the original road, and then take the bus to Peace Park for half an hour), so although the price of the ferry ticket is a bit high, But the feeling of taking a boat is necessarily different. The scenery along the way, the breeze, including the building on both sides of the riverbank on the boat, is once again thinking about my original home here! ! ! Peace Park is usually full of tourists, but it is also full of harmony. The original explosion dome, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park monument, etc. are not far away. If you have time, you can also visit the newly built Hiroshima football stadium not far away. The new building gives people a bright feeling. I really want to take the opportunity to watch a football game... Then you can also go to Bentong Shopping Street.

    The ticket exchange for the physical ticket at the ticket office is very convenient, and there's no need to queue. The history of Nagasaki, Japan, after the US atomic bomb was dropped on it is presented before your eyes. If you're passing through Nagasaki, I recommend stopping by to see it. If you're patient, it should take about two hours.

    fun, colourful, vibrant. While I was there there were school groups. it's a small area, a narrow street with small stores selling Chinese snacks, food and wares. There are many colourful lanterns.

    On this 50-minute short cruise, you can enjoy the nature of the Kujuku Islands. You can enjoy the spectacular view while feeling the pleasant breeze on the deck. Indoor seats are air-conditioned and you can sit and enjoy your food and drink. There were sailor cosplay costumes for children. By the way, "99" means "many, a lot of," and in reality there are more than 200 islands. It's the perfect place to take beautiful photos and videos.

    After purchasing, your voucher includes a link that can be opened by a staff member at the venue. You'll need to open the link three times for each of the three attractions, but it's faster than queuing up for tickets now. All three attractions are beautiful and worth visiting for the whole family. The zoo and the boat ride and aquarium are two separate locations, each a five-minute drive away. The boat tour was comfortable, and the aquarium is small but well-maintained. Our family of four completed all three attractions in four hours. We arrived at the zoo at 9 a.m. and arrived at the pier a little after 10 a.m. to exchange for tickets for the 11 a.m. ferry. You have to be careful with your schedule, as the ferry departs every 12:00 a.m., so if you miss it, you'll have to wait an extra hour.
