Tips

In case of bad weather, the event may be cancelled or postponed, so check the organizer's announcement on the day for confirmation. After it ends, the surrounding roads become congested, so it's recommended to enjoy the afterglow a bit longer before heading home. The ground is dark, so having a phone flashlight is reassuring.

Best time to visit

Coordinating with the 7:00 PM-8:00 PM opening time. Be sure to secure your spot at least 30 minutes before the start.
