Beijing Urban City Planning Exhibition Hall, which is designed to showcase Beijing's past, present and future, might be the most modern and advanced museum n Beijing. Visitors can easily find what Beijing looked like 50 years ago and how it will probably look 20 years from now, including its business districts, Olympic Village and the entire city of Beijing in miniature and aerial photographs.The photography of the city layout is printed on nearly 1,000 illuminated glass floor panels and stunning scale models of the Beijing urban master plan is placed at the centre of the photograph. The map is so big that local people can actually stand on the exact spot where they live.
3-D video show also vividly showcases Beiing 's past and future. Quite many hi-tech elements can be seen in the museum.
