    "This is the prototype building of the Grand Theatre of Paris, Bordeaux's most beautiful world heritage site. Every September - June of the next year, famous European singing and dance dramas will be staged. The fare in the theater is priced according to the location. The good location must be processed for the annual card to have the opportunity to grab it. Of course, the best location will definitely be reserved. However, for Xiaobai, it is good to spend 15 euros to buy the ceiling position before the opening."

    "The bell gate is the center of Bordeaux, an old castle-style bell tower that looks very European in medieval style. On one side of the clock tower is modern Bordeaux, on the other end is the old Bordeaux Old City, through the big bell gate, as if through time and space, with a different feeling."
