Distinguishing legend and history on a family visit
Ask children why the herb of immortality is central to the story. Distinguishing people's wish for long life from actual evidence of travel lets you enjoy the exhibition without treating legends as established facts.
Check footing around the pond before photographs, and follow indoor exhibit-protection guidance. If your family prefers sea views to legends, shorten the exhibition and allow more garden rest.
