Some additional notes from the Host and responses inline

1.      Due to the heavy traffic in rush hour, we need departure heading to the museum the earlier the better (starts at 17:30).
2.      There will be a security checking at the entrance of the museum.
3.      No food or drink is allowed to be brought into any exhibit.
4.      Although the bus will be ready to depart from the museum heading back to the hotel, the last bus won’t depart until 9:30pm.

People can enjoy the buffet and visit the booths of Beijing Folk Art Show in the hall from 6-7. According to the agreement with the museum, the exhibits will be open at 7pm.
