Help! The National Museum of China's Phoenix Crown Fridge Magnet Has Me Weak in the Knees!

Everyone, the "top star" of the museum's cultural and creative scene is none other than the National Museum of China's Phoenix Crown Fridge Magnet! Since its launch, it has sold over 1 million pieces in 8 months, driving sales of the entire series to exceed CNY 100 million, and has been hailed by netizens as the "ceiling" of cultural and creative fridge magnets nationwide. After all kinds of hardships, I successfully got one, and now I will share the super detailed guide with you all 👇 🌟 Fridge Magnet Highlights This fridge magnet is based on the National Museum of China's treasure—the Ming Dynasty Xiaoduan Empress's Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown, which is one of the first batches of cultural relics prohibited from being exhibited abroad. The R&D team abandoned conventional techniques, and all the beads are manually strung together, and the blue brightness is enhanced to simulate the gorgeousness of kingfisher feathers. The wooden version is CNY 46, restoring the simple texture of the phoenix crown; the metal version is CNY 78, adding an AR design, and you can scan the QR code to immerse yourself in the beauty of the phoenix crown. 🎫 Visit Information 1. Tickets: National Museum of China tickets are free, and you need to make an appointment in advance on the "National Museum of China" mini program. You can choose from three time slots: 9:00–11:00, 11:00–13:30, and 13:30–16:30. Be sure to enter the museum according to the reserved time slot. 2. Opening hours: 9:00–17:00, no entry after 16:00, closed on Mondays. 🚗 Transportation Guide 1. Subway: Take Subway Line 1 and exit from Exit D of Tiananmen East Station. Turn right after exiting the station to see the security check queue. 2. Bus: Take Bus 1, 2, 52, 82, etc. and get off at Tiananmen East Station. 3. Self-driving: It is not recommended to drive by yourself. Parking spaces are limited in the surrounding area, and you need to walk a long distance after parking. 🏃‍♀️ Purchase Guide 1. Online: Enter the National Museum of China, open Alipay during the specified time period and search for "Guo Bo Yan Yi", or scan the QR code to enter the mini program to make an appointment to purchase. There are two appointment sessions every day at 12:30 and 14:30. The wooden version is limited to 500 pieces per session, and each person is limited to 1 piece; the metal version is limited to 3,000 pieces per session, and each person is limited to 3 pieces. After the appointment is successful, you need to go to the comprehensive leisure space on the south side of the art gallery on the first floor of the National Museum of China or the cultural and creative experience area on the second floor with your valid ID card to verify and pick up the goods before 16:30 on the same day. 2.

The wooden version is limited to 500 pieces, and the metal version is limited to 1,000 pieces. Each person is limited to 2 pieces, first come, first served. It is recommended to go to the National Museum of China to queue up before 7:00, and go to the North Second Floor to queue up for the wooden fridge magnet number plate, and then go to the South Third Floor to get the metal number plate after entering the museum. 🗺 Visit Route 1. Must-see cultural relics: Go straight to the "Ancient China" exhibition hall on the B1 floor to view the real Ming Dynasty Xiaoduan Empress's Nine Dragons and Nine Phoenix Crown and learn more about the prototype of the fridge magnet. In addition, the Eagle-shaped Pottery Ding, the Painted Pottery Basin with Human-face Fish Pattern, and the Four-goat Square Zun are also not to be missed. 2. Featured exhibitions: The "Road to Rejuvenation" exhibition on the second floor allows you to see Yang Liwei's spacesuit and other modern cultural relics; the "Ancient Costume Exhibition" on the third floor and the "Buddhist Statue Exhibition" on the fourth floor have soft lighting and are suitable for taking pictures. 📸 Photo Check-in 1. Take a photo with the fridge magnet: At the Grand Staircase of the North Gate of the National Museum of China, use the symmetrical structure and light and shadow to take photos with a super sense of depth; you can also go to the glass enclosure area on the 3rd floor platform to take photos with Tiananmen Square in the background. 2. Take photos of cultural relics: Use the reflection of the exhibition cabinet glass to take symmetrical photos of cultural relics, avoid crowds, and highlight the details of the cultural relics. 🍔 Food Supply If you are tired from shopping, there are restaurants and cafes in the National Museum of China that provide simple meals, coffee, and special latte art coffee. If you want to taste Beijing's special cuisine, you can go to Qianmen Street after leaving the museum to try fried sauce noodles, stewed lungs, etc. ⚠️ Precautions 1. Please do not touch the cultural relics and keep quiet during the visit. 2. Take care of your personal belongings, especially when queuing to buy fridge magnets. 3. Wear light and comfortable shoes. The National Museum of China is large and requires a certain amount of physical strength to visit. Everyone, take this guide with you and have a romantic encounter with the Phoenix Crown fridge magnet at the National Museum of China 💕
