Beijing - The City of Museums: 'Capital Museum' (Part Three)

It's worth visiting the Capital Museum multiple times! I had been there once before, and it might have been because it was still a 'special' period, there weren't many visitors, and only the East Wing was open for exhibitions, giving it a somewhat deserted feel. A few days ago, the TV mentioned that there is now a special exhibition for the Year of the Dragon, and wow, today it's packed with people! Despite it being a workday, the crowds are surging! Now, not only the East Wing but also the West Wing has officially 'launched'. The first floor features the Beijing Central Axis exhibition, the second, third, and fourth floors cover the comprehensive history of Beijing, and there's also a Beijing Opera Garden exhibition and a Beijing Folk Customs exhibition upstairs, plus a Xinjiang Archaeological special exhibition on the B1 floor. To see everything would take at least half a day! Today's museums are no longer just about simply displaying artifacts; they now offer a full array of audiovisual and interactive devices, making all the exhibition areas interesting. Adults and children can learn and discuss as they go. If you're tired and hot, why not buy a cultural creative popsicle? For friends with kids, spending a whole day here is no problem at all!
