Palace Museum is a wonderland for the imagination

It's a dilemma facing parents the world over. Where to bring the children for a weekend treat? Compared to a thrilling roller coaster ride at theme parks, there is a more down-to-earth option that provides plenty of fun and education - the Palace Museum.

The 600-year-old wonderland of spectacular pavilions, imperial gardens and valuable artworks can guarantee quality time for both parents and children. It proves that imagination can be the best playground.

Yiyi, an 8-year-old boy, is a case in point. He and his parents head to the museum almost every weekend to attend a special class where the lecturers bring artifacts displayed in the splendid wooden construction to life with vivid tales and good stories, allowing both adults and children to understand their design and cultural value.
