Connie ChiuSeptember 12, 2016Beautiful architecture (but not a fan of antiquity art except the pornographic scenes in red ink vases). Almost worth the visit except for that damn $15 parking.
Ryan JesenaFebruary 18, 2010I've heard so much good stuff about this place. I definitely need to take some time and visit this place.
