This time I want to introduce the less popular museums It is at the Central Center for Gifts and Cultural Relics Management in Beijing, a museum that exhibits gifts from foreign places to China from Chairman Mao to the present. There are not many exhibition halls, there are three in total. Because it is not a popular museum, it can be very convenient to see the exhibits, so when you go to Beijing, you might as well try to visit this museum, and this time, I walked over, immediately made an appointment with the WeChat applet, you can enter to visit it! #Beijing Minor Museum Good places to visit in Beijing

#JanuaryTravelSupportEvent I really, really love lamb skewers. This is a place where lamb skewers are really delicious. I also visited a famous lamb skewers franchise restaurant in China.

#JapanFlightEvent I recently visited a famous restaurant in Beijing, China. There were a lot of things I really liked, so I loved it. I ate Chinese cold noodles and fried rice with eggs, and they were really, really delicious!!! I recommend that you all visit there once. It's not that far from Korea to Beijing, so definitely visit there once.

#JapanFlightEvent If you go to Beijing, this is a must-eat place. It's shrimp hot pot. It was really delicious. At first, they bring out shrimp so you can eat them all, but after you clean the shrimp and eat it, they pour the broth and make it into hot pot. It was really amazing. I recommend that you visit this restaurant at least once. It was really delicious.

If you want a quiet and less crowded alley, you can try Caochang. First, visit a few free museums with a great experience, such as the adjacent First Historical Archives of China, the Central Gift and Cultural Relics Management Center, etc. After leaving the museum, visit East and West Xinglong Streets, passing by the legendary Oriental Mandarin Hotel. Then find a small restaurant, Fusan Coffee☕️ & Little Red Riding Hood Sandwich🥪, sit on the first or second floor terrace, and continue to stroll to Sanlihe Park, Qianmen, Beijing Fang... Stop and go, it's beautiful in winter~

I collected this place last year and finally came to see it today [StarsEyeUU] 🚍It is recommended to take public transportation, as there is no parking nearby. If you want to drive, park at Chongwenmen New World and then walk over~ ⭕The building looks very solemn, the hall inside is really spacious, and there are exquisite lacquer screens. It really feels different from other museums. There is a small service desk on the right hand side of the door where you can get the instruction booklet~ ⭕The exhibition is divided into two floors. The first floor displays the gifts exchanged by various countries in chronological order of national leaders. Most of them are very exquisite and meaningful; the second floor is part of some of the exchange gifts we sent out, all of which are made with national treasure-level skills, mainly cloisonné, porcelain and embroidery. The other large part is the gifts given to us by various countries divided by region. They are not as exquisite as those on the first floor, but they all have distinct regional characteristics~ I looked around for a long time on the first floor. Almost every piece is very artistic. ⚠️ There is an activity here where you scan the QR code in the display cabinet to check in. If you collect 15, you can go to the place where you just received the instructions to get a commemorative card. Unfortunately, I didn’t notice it. Later, I asked but I was too lazy to come back to scan. Don’t miss it when you go there. Then you can go to the information desk on the left to get a stamp, just as a souvenir. The stamp is not exquisite [Doge][Doge] ⭕ Overall, I personally feel that Indonesian handicrafts are the most distinctive and exquisite. African wood carvings are also the absolute first choice for gifts. Arab countries are the most luxurious, with shiny gold or silver. On the contrary, the gifts from some old capitalist countries feel a bit ordinary, such as large vases, porcelain plates, team uniforms, watches, and statues of their own national leaders. Some also give picture albums. I am really impressed~ 🕰️It takes about an hour and a half to watch the whole thing. There are explanations at 10:00 am and 15:00 pm every day. It is recommended to make an appointment with the archives next to it for one day. ⚠️ Make an appointment in advance. The number of places is limited every day. When I made an appointment one day in advance, there were only three places. After entering the museum, I felt that there were no more than 200 people. There were not many people in the museum, and the visiting experience was good [Grin][Grin]
