乖小咪:“The National Museum of Costa Rica is very large, and houses many precious ancient sculptures, gold and silver jewelry and other artworks. It comprehensively displays the history, culture, and minerals of Costa Rica, and is the best place to learn about Costa Rica.”

Gavin-Beijing:“A beautiful and practical national park, next to the National Stadium built with Chinese aid, many people exercise in Savannah Park every day, playing football, running, playing tennis, roller skating, etc. Once I saw a group of people practicing acrobatics here. It is even more lively on weekends. Many people drive to the park for leisure, and all the catering vendors are out. The park is crowded and lively! There is a pond in the park with hundreds of red-billed ducks. There were only more than 20 six months ago. The environment is good and the animals reproduce quickly! The most interesting thing in the park is the squirrels. Living nearby, I have the opportunity to feed the squirrels and have the honor of seeing the various expressions and demeanors of the squirrels! If the ecology in Chinese parks is also so good, it would be great!!!”

番茄Simin:“The price is 9600 kronor. Most of the three-story museum is underground. The exhibition starts with an introduction to history, and displays various interesting small objects made of gold along the way. Golden frogs and various little people are the characteristics. The exhibition ends with a currency exhibition, which introduces the currency history of Costa Rica. I finally learned that the name of the colón comes from Columbus and has been used since 1950. In addition, there is a small art exhibition. I like an art painting that is all copper plates, and different birds will make different sounds when pressing different plates. Overall, it is worth a visit.”
