China Film Museum 🎬✨

A museum all about movies. There are various things such as the history of movies, tools, equipment, wax figures of actors, and an introduction to filming techniques, but the most interesting were the several life size sets. 👀 One note is that if you want to see the entire museum beforehand, check the hours and make sure to get there in time. Various exhibitions close early. 👣 I very love it but there was not that much translations for foreigners. But i love my visit. If you have time it's really interesting way to understand Chinese cultur. #wheretogo #bestplace #bestview #awesomepic #mytripvlog #celebratewithtrip #best_trip_by_trip #bestplace #recommended #besttimeever #bestdeal #awesometrip #tripcom

During the Spring Festival, watching a movie is a popular form of family entertainment. In fact, film in China dates back 100 years. This Beijing museum records the 100-year development of film, recounting stories and evoking memories along the way.

A museum with a visual feast.

The museum is very large, with four floors! The first floor is a cinema and a large electronic screen with a visual feast, where you can make an appointment to watch a movie for free. There are 20 halls on the second to fourth floors for you to visit, and it is quite tiring to walk around each hall. So it's easy to spend a day shopping. We were very tired after visiting for half a day in the afternoon. The halls on the second to fourth floors close at 5 o'clock. The first floor can be open until eight o'clock. There is a wide parking lot at the door🅿️, mainly free, which is very good. The electronic screen scenes on the first floor are constantly changing, and every scene is very photogenic and very beautiful.
