    "How to say it, I feel that this boat is not necessary to sit, and the price is quite high, 80 per person, the time is not long, the price is not high. Because I have been looking at the Raiders before I went, I found that basically every article is recommended, and the expectations are directly full. I think the time we went is just right. It is close to the night and you can see some sunset. It is already dark when the cruise ship is out. It is just suitable for watching the shore scenery. I swim around and come back. Maybe I didn't get the point to play, there is no need to run around alone, just look at the different scenery."
