Pretending to be in Europe, there is an "underground castle" hidden in the Second Ring Road of Beijing

I didn't expect it to be in Beijing's second ring road There is such an "underground castle" hidden in a low-key way🏰 Walking into the museum is like traveling back to medieval Europe🌍 You will see a scene that does not exist The Pietà and the Victory Goddess are in the same frame The Pietà exhibition hall Stained glass windows and ornate chandeliers It adds a bit of warmth to this originally sad statue. It also highlights the mystery Thinking of the original painting in St. Peter's Basilica ten years ago Instant tears The sculptures imitated here It also instantly brings people back to that sacred place. Here You can not only shuttle through the dark and narrow A maze of underground corridors Encounter various Italian sculptures🗿 It's like exploring an underground castle The Buddha statue and ☠️ The emergence of the "Dumpy David" and the bronze "Victory of Victory" This intense collision and contrast It is definitely a feast for the eyes and senses. In addition to these, the museum can enjoy many exquisite stone paintings and hard stone carvings. The founder, Mr. Li Yingjie, collected and processed natural stones to elevate the traditional stone appreciation culture into modern art creation. Those stones that are insignificant in the eyes of mortals🪨 All turned into exquisite paintings or works of art🖼️ It's amazing! The best thing is that the exhibition is completely free 🆓 and no reservation is required Whether you are a young artist interested in painting, sculpture or architecture🧑🏻 Still a photography enthusiast and sister who is keen on taking photos👱🏻‍♀️ Or friends who like adventure and curiosity 🕵🏻‍♀️ can satisfy you here After visiting the underground, you can go to the Oga Art Museum on the ground if you have time. It is also free. Compared with the Hard Rock Museum underground, there are fewer people here, the lighting is better, and the paintings are worth seeing! ✅Practical information ⏰Opening hours: 10:00-11:30 AM Afternoon 12:30-17:00 📍Address: B2, Aojia Hotel, Dongzhimen Outer Street (elevator on the left when entering the hotel lobby) 🎫: Free and no appointment required ✨Tips ✔️It is recommended to go in the morning. I arrived in the afternoon and there were a lot of people, especially in the narrow corridors where there were several good-looking camera positions and several waves of people taking photos. ✔️The light is dim underground, so if you want to take photos, try to wear light-colored clothes and please respect the statues! Don't joke around, don't cross the railings, don't occupy the corridor all the time, and please respect yourself when dressing. Even if you don't have faith, don't ignore the Buddha statue in front of you and the cross above your head! ⚠️Please visit the exhibition in a civilized manner! ✔️There is no signal underground, but you can connect to the museum's wifi.
