Why make time for it

Use the extra evening hours to make a museum visit part of a longer day in Jing’an. This is a special late-opening timetable, rather than a separate exhibition or performance.

The official city notice confirms 09:00–20:00 on 25–26 September and 1–3 October. Other holiday dates close earlier. Museum tickets and reservation conditions still apply; check availability through the museum before leaving.
