Everything is fine.Come to China for a few days like me, and I think it's worth the price.In addition, there is no map in China that can accept pure English, so I chose Google Navigation.But it keeps showing wrong.Apart from this terrible thing, I think everything else is fine and everything is going well.I love the delicious food in China.
