I made a reservation for the exhibition in the Capital Museum a week ago. The reserved ticket is free but it does not cover the main exhibition: The Chinese Memory. Treasures of the 5000-year Civilization. This exhibition is 30RMB. It is well worth the price as the artifacts displayed are all the national treasures brought in from provincial museums all over China. It takes about 1.5 hours to exam the treasures.

How to get there: No. 1 subway line, exit in Muxidi exit southeast. Walk 200 meters.

I went to watch a show in this egg-shaped building which cost 2.2billion RMB. Each seat costs 500,000RMB. Wow, a very impressive building, on par or more impressive than say Sydney Opera House.

The best way to get there is by No. 1 subway at the Tiananmen west station and at exit C.
