It is the first thematic museum in China that collects, studies and displays China's ancient architectural technology, art and its development history. It was officially opened to the public on September 25th, 1991.
Now that you have got the charm of the capital, come and punch in ~
Little suggestion:
If you go to imperial academy, you are advised to travel by bus, because his internal parking lot is not open to the public.
When you enter the museum, don't touch around to avoid damage.
Because of the epidemic, many scenic spots are restricted, so you'd better make an appointment at different times.
When you play, you must wear a mask.
