2. No need to buy raincoats and shoe covers on non-rainy days
It rained the day I went, the parking lot was full of large and small puddles, yellow mud puddles, not easy to walk. I wore rain boots, my family's fat man bought a pair of shoe covers, his feet are big and can't wear them, and they are not slip-resistant, not recommended to buy.
