Besides the rich variety of shopping options, The Oriental Plaza is also home to the Sony Explora Science Museum, The Wanfujing Paleolithic Museum, and Ten Fu’s Tea.
The Sony Explora Science Museum displays cutting edge technology as well as offering dramatic recreations of scientific experiments that are mainly targeted at children. The museum’s sleek look is definitely not to be missed.

The Wanfujing Paleolithic Museum was built purely by accident as upon the grand plaza’s initial construction stages it was revealed that the ground that was chosen to lay the foundation was actually the site of a temporary camp over 24,000 years ago. It is said that the discovery was the archeological find of the Paleolithic Era in Beijing since the discovery of the Peking Man in the 1920's.

Visitors to the museum can find the reconstructed digpit, a selection of original artifacts as well as a variety of displays that help explain the situation at the very site as it was over 24,000 years ago.

Getting to the mall is easy and a variety of Beijing hotels lie in the nearby vicinity of the Oriental Plaza. If comfort is your requirement, you need not fear as the area is home to numerous Beijing luxury hotels.
