Traveler reviews
Zachary Reines
★★★★★5 months agoCannot recommend this enough. Escaped shoulder-to-shoulder festival crowds in all the streets to find this place entirely empty, and there’s a scale model of the ENTIRE CITY on the 3rd floor. An autist’s wet dream. Must-see. No charge but must show ID So much fun locating all the main sights I’d visited on my trip, and then going deeper to look for my hotel and all the minor landmarks I’d found on strolls through Hutong neighbourhoods.
