Global Times (by way of Alibaba.com) has an article in English detailing the exhibitions and attractions at the New China Science and Technology Museum, opening this Sunday, September 20.

"The five-floor museum is located inside the National Olympic Green and has five themed exhibition rooms; Children's Science Paradise, The Glory of China, Exploration and Discovery, Science, Technology and Life and Challenges and the Future. It also has a public exhibition hall named The Beautifulness of Science.

Children's Science Paradise on the first floor is the most eye-catching. It has been designed for children aged from 3 to 10 years old. The items on display allow youngsters to experience life and nature. A range of hands-on exhibits including Expression Guessing, the Hand Game and Telling Left from Right encourage kids to improve their reactions and communication.

Children can learn about the environment through games such as Recycling Trash and Constructing an Environmentally Friendly Cabin. In Happy Farm kids have a chance to get their hands dirty by pulling up carrots, milking cows and transporting grains. In Exploring Secrets of Animals children can observe creatures in their natural habitats and Space Station allows kids to drive spacecraft and experience the Time Tunnel."
