We go to the china museum. in the exhibitions a lot of exhibits there and every exhibit is long time ago but they are showed the history of human being. We went to the Chinese National Museum which is the biggest museum in China. So many people there and Beijing is so big wind so the trees drop a lot of seed that is like hair / wool. We walk around the museum but we only searched one room because so big the museum and we had only 1 hour, maybe the next time we can search the other rooms. I found an interesting thing, a zoo in the China national museum because I saw a cow and duck and a horse and a lot of animal there.
