It was raining ☔️, but thankfully the rain wasn't heavy… The fountain and light show wasn't very big, but there were a lot of people watching… The night view was still quite nice… It's quite large, and I was too tired to walk any further, so I turned back. It must be very beautiful during the day, but unfortunately it rained in the afternoon… Next time, I'll come during the day… I even fed the koi…
