China's sci-tech museums draw over 3m visits during Spring Festival holiday

BEIJING - China's sci-tech museums have received more than 3 million visits during the 2025 Spring Festival holiday, according to the China Science and Technology Museum (CSTM) on Tuesday.

The Beijing-based CSTM said that it has guided the public to explore the scientific elements of Spring Festival customs. During the holiday, the museum welcomed more than 150,000 visits, of whom over 90 percent came from outside the capital city.

Sci-tech museums across the country have launched various Spring Festival-themed science exhibitions, integrating Chinese zodiac culture, intangible cultural heritage techniques and cutting-edge technologies.

East China's Fujian Science and Technology Museum is holding an exhibition on the "wisdom of the snake," allowing visitors to learn about snake biology. In another sci-tech museum in South China's Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, a humanoid robot interacts with audiences, showcasing the latest progress in China's robotics technology.

The CSTM said that it will lead the country's sci-tech museums to continue innovating forms of science popularization in 2025.
