Faith P.★★★★★ — Beautiful place but I wasn’t allowed to explore the exterior adequately because it was required that a bottle of Scnapps be given to an elder with some money before a tour guide could take you round the palace and I didn’t go prepared for that. My advice is go prepared with the traditional drink and some cash if you really want to explore the palace. The little I was able to explore was beautiful as we could see the cars far off in the inner section.
