Visitors can walk into the dragon’s mouth through the tunnel, where they will have a glimpse of Taoist heaven and Taoist hell enacted by animatronics or robotics display.
After walking through and seeing all the levels of Taoist, you will surely behave for the rest of your life according to some visitors. If you are not as brave as you think you are, you’d better stay outside and enjoy the magnificent architecture instead.
