    M3 Food Center and Karaoke

    Head down to M3 Food Center and Karaoke for a late-night bite or drink. It stays open until 23:00, so you can linger.

Local tip

The walk from the food spot to the Mausoleum is short. The view from the hill is panoramic, so arrive with enough time to find a good angle before the sun dips.
