JUNE BUTLER

The Grand Canal Museum, brimming with a sense of technology, who hasn't come to experience it yet?

⛰【Travel Tips】 📍Detailed address: Tongzhou District (at the very eastern end of Subway Line 6 (The Canal Museum is still under subway construction, no idea when it will open)) 🚗Transportation strategy: Take Subway Line 6 (Beiyunhe East) and then take a taxi after getting off the subway. Or take Subway Line 6 (Haojiazhuang) and then take a bus (their buses 🚌 are quite hard to wait for) or ride a bike there 🕙Opening hours: 10 am - 8 pm (no entry after 7 pm) 💰Ticket price: Free reservation and admission 🌟Highlights: 1. The east hall of the Capital Museum 2. Full of technology! 3. The glass for viewing exhibitions is exceptionally clear! It's a level of transparency that you can't experience in other museums, so clear that you might not see the glass and bump into it 4. There is an earthquake-resistant museum, which vividly explains how the museum's base and foundation need to be earthquake-proof, very educational 📌Little Tips: 1. Three floors above ground, one floor underground (and some exhibition areas are not fully set up yet) 2. There are guided tours inside the museum at 10:30, 14:30, and 17:30 3. There is a restaurant on the underground floor, a bit pricey. You can bring your own food, there are plenty of rest areas inside 4. Follow the museum guides, and you can see all the treasures in the museum 👍Most recommended: (Write ✍ your favorite exhibits) 1. Jinyi Shanguan (excavated from the Ming Dynasty Wanli Emperor's tomb at the Thirteen Tombs) - the entire 8400 dragon scales have no welding points, a craftsmanship that can't be matched even now 2. Jindai bronze seated dragon (with a dragon head 🐲, a qilin's back, and a lion's tail, very special) 3. Dark red sea water cliff dragon robe (the dragons on the robe are all dotted with rice beads, it's just too beautiful) 4. Blue and white porcelain with pink overglaze and openwork hexagonal set vase (this is absolutely beautiful, and the craftsmanship is hard to replicate)
