Beijing is always full of surprises.

🔥 Nanchizi Art Museum is located at No. 21, Pudu Temple West Lane, Dongcheng District, right next to the East Gate of the Forbidden City, in the alley opposite the popular Siji Minfu restaurant. ❤️ The art museum combines the styles of a traditional courtyard and Suzhou-style garden. The layout is unique, with a different view at every step, full of poetry and stories. ✅️ There are new exhibitions every quarter, each with a different theme and style. I come here almost every season, and it just keeps getting better and better. I love the innovative ideas of these artists! ✅️ The exhibitions are rich and diverse, covering a variety of art forms such as painting, sculpture, and photography, with high-quality works. ✅️ The current exhibition is "A Playbook" Traditional Shadow Puppetry and Contemporary Art Special Exhibition, featuring huge shadow puppets, multiple materials, and various presentation forms, combined with the winter light and shadow of the private courtyard, absolutely stunning! ⏰️ Tickets must be purchased online in advance. The art museum is closed for lunch and opens at 2:00 pm. Please pay attention to the time! ⚠️ The lighting is better before 4:00 pm. 🥳 Clothing: Wear traditional Chinese clothing for photos, to match the ancient atmosphere. Of course, everyone has their own preferences, and you will look beautiful no matter what you wear! ❤️ You can also visit Pudu Temple nearby and check out Dorgon’s house. 😬 🚗 Public transportation is recommended. Parking is available at the underground parking lot of Pudu Temple.
