Traveler reviews

★★★★★4 months agoOne of the best museums I have ever visited! I loved all of the exhibitions—none of them were boring at all. Many displays allow visitors to interact with the exhibits, which makes the experience even more engaging. I especially liked how the museum tells stories and connects each exhibition together. It truly feels like you are immersed in the experience. The museum is easy to reach by bus and is about a 10-minute walk from the Elements shopping mall.

★★★★★2 months agoInstead of flying to Beijing, you get to see these incredible, priceless treasures and imperial artifacts from the Forbidden City right here. The architecture is a beautiful mix of traditional and modern, and everything is laid out so well. It gets pretty busy, but looking at ancient gold and calligraphy with the harbor in the background is a surreal experience. Definitely worth grabbing a ticket ahead of time! 🇭🇰📜 👇
