Sanlitun has a hidden gem, the "Light and Shadow Maze."
The perfect winter activity is to explore indoor exhibitions. Who hasn't heard of the Roman palace hidden beneath Sanlitun, within the Third Ring Road of Beijing?👉🏻
While humans chase AI art, nature has already written poems that won't fade for eons.😊 Come quickly! The free exhibition is about to end (I heard it will start charging on March 1st❗️❗️)

📍Oga Art Museum (Hard Rock Art Museum)
🌟The museum houses over 800 pieces, mainly Chinese natural stone paintings and Italian pietra dura mosaics, as well as contemporary oil paintings, coin carvings, and precious art collections from ancient Africa.
🏰Unique architectural style: The overall style is rich Gothic court. The stone walls are cold and heavy, the dome is high, and the pointed arched doors and windows are super stylish. Entering feels like stepping into an ancient castle. The deep corridors resemble historical tunnels, the stone carved doors are exquisite, and the textures reveal the delicacy of Gothic art. The sculptures in the corners have unique shapes, and the figures appear mysterious in the dim light. Intertwined with the lighting, it's like being in a wondrous world blending an ancient Greek underground palace and a Gothic court. It's a great place for photos!
🚇Subway: Take Line 2 to Dongzhimen Station (Exit C) or Line 10 to Agricultural Exhibition Center Station (Exit D). Both are about a 10-minute walk away.
🚗Driving: There is a parking lot in the hotel. If there are no parking spaces, you can ask the parking staff to arrange a temporary space. Give your car key to the staff for valet parking, so you can enjoy the exhibition without worry.
🎫Tickets: Free admission, no reservation required
⏰Opening hours: 10:00–11:30 and 12:30–17:00 daily
👗Dress code:
The exhibition hall is mostly white marble, so it is recommended to wear dark clothes or a classical long dress for better photos.
❤️This museum is hidden in a hotel, so it's usually not crowded. If you go on the weekend and there's an event, just wait a bit for a clear shot...
❤️Beautiful scenery is worth waiting for, just as life is a date with time.
