How boring does the "Beijing Planning Museum" sound? Very!

How surprisingly awesome is the "Beijing Planning Museum"? Very!

The museum features a few giant city-models. And I mean GIANT! You can get a sense of the size of this thing by looking at the waist-height red rope around the outside. Not only is this a fully detailed model, but each of the buildings light up individually in a cascade, corresponding to a dreamy Chinese voiceover. The voice describes each sector of the city and what makes it unique. There is music playing in the background that I could have sworn was the same music as "Jurassic Park", so that was a very strange addition to the scene.
