    "It is the world's tallest building, the crystallization of engineering miracles and architectural aesthetics. The tower towering in the clouds is not only a landmark of Dubai, but also a masterpiece of modern engineering. Standing on the 124-story observation deck, the panoramic view of Dubai is unspeakable. The Burj Khalifa light show at night is a visual feast, and the colorful lights jump on the tower, making people dizzying. If you have the opportunity, be sure to experience the sunset when you climb the tower, and you can enjoy the sunset and night view of Dubai at a time, which is definitely worth it. If the wallet is rich, of course, the 154th floor is worth it!"

    "The shape is very cool, the sense of technology is full, the personal feeling inside is not very high, it is more suitable for taking children to play, adults may feel that the playability is insufficient, the air conditioner inside is very cold, and the temperature difference is very big from the outside, so it is recommended to bring a thin coat"

    Highlights: The "Dubai Frame" was built in 2013, with a height of about 150 meters and a width of 93 meters. What is amazing is that its appearance will be fully gilded, and the total cost is as high as 160 million dirhams (about 300 million yuan). The 150-meter-tall gilded frame stands high above Zabeel Park, with a 93-meter sky bridge at the top, which provides a 360-degree panoramic view, presenting the city's historical landscape and modern architecture. Overlooking the city from the sky bridge, you can see the old city of Deraa to the north and the skyscrapers of Sheikh Zayed Avenue to the south. Take a panoramic glass elevator down into the museum, where visitors can experience Dubai's journey from a small fishing village to a metropolis through interaction and augmented reality.

    "It’s more worth to buy at the counter itself, they give 30% off the package as a bundle and it’s worth more. We regret not checking earlier but we enjoyed the attraction nonetheless. There was a lot to explore! The staff are very informative and friendly too if you ask them questions. They are very kind but are not used to people engaging them which is sad. They have a lot of information to offer about the animals :) the glass bottom boat is also very worth it!"

    "Maybe because it is the off-season in Dubai, the weather is too hot and there are very few people in the park. Almost every project is like a private venue. Except for the projects that are not opened, everything else is brushed casually. The center hall is very good. Every door can reach a theme."
