This high-tech museum gives you of a glimpse of tomorrow's Beijing. Several of the exhibitions are interactive, including the scale model of Beijing that you can actually walk on. We highly recommend the short movies, offered at half-hour intervals and in English on request. The 3D movie, complete with the funny glasses, tells the history of Beijing's development. The 4D movie -- more like a ride at an amusement park -- whisks you on a tour of Beijing's future subway lines, which will supposedly connect any two points in Beijing in less than an hour. Even if it is propaganda, it's still good fun.
