What should I do during the holidays? Bilingual Jun came to share with you a good place – museums.

Of course, if you are a parent, it is also excellent to take your child to the museum for a long time.

According to historical records, the museum flourished for seven centuries before being destroyed by a fire, and the word museum was gradually forgotten.

Museum of Ancient Chinese Sex Culture
The vast collection of about 3,700 erotic pieces that romp through some 5,000 years of human sexual behaviour. But with limited official support, the Museum of Sex moved in 2004 to Tongli, Jiangsu, an hour’s drive away.
But in the process of choosing a museum, officials should also keep their eyes open, and the British “Guardian” once reported on a “fake museum”.
A museum in China has a problem. It seems to have a few fakes in its vast collection. Well, as many as 40,000. Everything it owns may be nothing more than a mass of crude forgeries.

For a long time, tourists did not pose a threat to the Forbidden City. In ancient times, commoners or foreigners were put to death if they trespassed without permission. Today, Chinese media often report that Forbidden City artifacts were damaged by a flood of tourists during the holidays.
Listen to the advice of the bilingual jun, too popular places let’s not rush to the holidays to make fun, crowded people are really not suitable for selfie roar!
