Beijing on Wednesday unveiled 20 new routes for science and technology museum tours, aiming to enhance educational experiences for students and the public.

The initiative, launched at the 2024 "City of Science and Technology Museums" ceremony, includes eight "textbook" routes, six popular venue routes and six thematic routes.

The "textbook" routes align with school curricula, allowing students to experience science concepts in their textbooks firsthand. For example, sixth-graders can examine the ancient star map of the Longfu Temple caisson ceiling at the Beijing Ancient Architecture Museum, which is depicted in their science textbooks. Meanwhile, first-year high school students can visit the solar telescope at the Huairou Solar Observing Station, as mentioned in their geography textbooks.

The six popular venue routes released at the event integrate similar museums in Beijing, providing more options for museum tours. For example, when tickets to the National Museum of Natural History are in short supply, people can visit the Institute of Botany at the Chinese Academy of Sciences to appreciate diverse plants instead.

In addition, the six thematic routes focus on current scientific trends and popular topics, providing insights into cutting-edge developments.
