Xiamen Science and Technology Museum is a state-of-the-art comprehensive science museum in China, and it is also a popular domestic family travel destination, known as the ‘Disneyland of Science’. The museum features five major thematic exhibition halls, 400 interactive experience projects, and three dynamic cinemas, attracting over a million visitors annually. Upon entering the ‘Prelude Hall’, one can immediately see the museum’s treasure – the water clock, a timekeeping device powered by water, which combines the escapement mechanism invented by Su Song, a scientist from Xiamen during the Northern Song Dynasty.
As you step into the ‘Exploration Hall’, a new adventure begins: immerse yourself in the ever-changing universe and stars in the popular exhibit – the Time Tunnel; experience the thrill of having your hair stand on end in the open electromagnetism stage; and get lost in the large mirror maze…
