< p> I did enough homework before I went there. I looked up the address of each house and took notes on the characteristics of each house to prevent myself from stepping into something wrong. In fact, you don’t need to go to every store, because there are many stores selling special autumn snacks, so you don’t need to go to every store to evaluate and grow grass like me. You can just choose two or three stores that are convenient for your route. Because I have a very small appetite, I couldn’t eat a lot, so I packed them all away. I didn’t taste all the delicacies in every restaurant, but I selected the characteristics of each restaurant to recommend to everyone. Below I would like to recommend four restaurants that I have visited that taste good and are reasonably priced. They are all located near Line 2, making it easy for everyone to check in.
