Nishan Cultural is really beautiful, especially with its impressive architecture. The main show was well done, though it’s only in Chinese. The night drone show was also a good experience and added a special touch to the visit. Highly recommend to visit

Mr. Kong’s explanation was wonderful. There were many children in the group, and his explanation and interaction were very targeted. They were vivid and detailed, yet humorous and witty. He was passionate throughout the two and a half hours. I could feel his full involvement. He was by no means superficial or perfunctory. I was very moved!
