Cosy in the Shanghai Train Museum

We have been asking Ethan whether he wanted to see the train or not? Answer from him was yes then we only decide to visit this place. Our driver had a bit of hard time to find the place and mummy was worried that the time will be lapsed as the Train Museum will only be opened for 2 sessions. One is morning session i.e. 9.00am - 11. 30am then the afternoon session at 2.00pm to 4.30pm.

We have bought two tickets at RMB10 per person. Ethan is free as one adult can bring one kid and we had two adults tickets. Since the wind was so strong and cold outside, we decided to visit the museum first before we took the photo of the train outside the museum. Inside was the exhibition of Shanghai's train history. Photos on display were how they built the railway, the destruction of the Train Station by the Japan during the World War II and etc.

We experienced the simulation of taking the train through the train ride simulation chamber. When we first arrived, there was nobody around and it was dark inside the train. Mummy managed to find the light switch and took some photo Ethan playing the button on the train's control panel. Later there was a worker who came and started the simulation. Ethan was the most excited person but not for his parents as this type of simulation is not like those we played in Disneyland or Universal Studios where the train can actually move. Only the video was moving.

After the simulation we walked out of the Museum and took some photos with the train displayed surrounding the museum. It was very cold out there and in order to take the photo we had to stand out in the cold. Today the temperature was only 5 degree Celsius in the daytime.

We can only see what was outside the train and not the inside view.

For Ethan this was a great experience for him. He slept on the way home so we have to cancel our next destination to the Century Square.
