Top Museums in China

Grab a map at the entrance. I missed one and ended up wandering around a bit aimlessly, which wasted some time. It really helps to know where you're going!

The audio guide is a must! It makes the experience so much richer and explains things the signs don’t. I decided against it at first and totally regretted it.

i recommend visiting on a weekday if you can – it gets pretty crowded on weekends, and i found it way easier to enjoy the exhibits and take photos when there were fewer people around

Grab lunch at the museum's café. It’s reasonably priced and serves some delicious local dishes. I got the set menu, and it was a great choice!

My advice is to take your time in the galleries. I was rushing because I thought I’d miss something outside, but there’s so much to see inside that’s worth your time!
