The Spring Festival holidays transformed China’s science and technology museums into buzzing centers of wonder, drawing a staggering 3.5 million-plus visitors. These venues launched spectacular science outreach programs that seamlessly combined intellectual stimulation, joyful entertainment, and approachable humanism.
According to early reports, the numbers reflect a national embrace of scientific curiosity during celebrations. Leading the pack, the China Science and Technology Museum presented ‘A Thousand Miles on Horseback: Natural and Human Journeys,’ an exhibition split into four compelling parts brimming with interactive science fun, attracting 200,000 attendees.
Other museums followed suit with carefully sequenced events merging zodiac folklore, preserved cultural crafts, and bleeding-edge tech demos. Such fusion not only educated but also celebrated China’s innovative spirit.
In 2026, the China Science and Technology Museum will take the reins to pioneer highly creative science promotion across the nation, fostering deeper public involvement and inspiring the next generation of innovators.
