China opened an immersive space center for children in Beijing on May 1, reported China Daily.
Located inside a huge park-style commercial complex in Changping district in northwestern Beijing, the China Aerospace Science Center is designed to fill a gap in high-quality aerospace education in China, targeting children from ages 6 to 16.
The venue is structured around six themed zones that follow the logical timeline of human space exploration. A “time tunnel” section presents 100 major space milestones, with a strong focus on China’s full-cycle space journey. Visitors can experience a realistic countdown simulation of a rocket launch, watch a step-by-step breakdown of satellite interiors, and learn about the engineering logic behind every link of a space mission.
