These are the famous attractions in this city, but in fact, if people are in a good mood, there are actually attractions everywhere.
It's just that these scenic spots, with their existential meaning, are deliberately managed.
Relatively speaking, university is what Ye Chao likes to go to.
In fact, every famous university has its "temperament", this "temperament" is different from people's temperament, Ye Chao doesn't know what to say, in short, it can only be understood but not spoken.
Victory Square is also a place that Ye Chao likes to go to, here, more or less you can see a little trace of history.
As for Tear Island Island, it is not a place he likes to go to, although there is a lot of dark energy there, but now, Ye Chao does not want to absorb too much dark energy, it will help the heart of the Demon Dao.
