Time Museum, an exhibition themed around the country’s 40 years of reform and opening up, is being held in Nanshan District. Entry is free.

The exhibition is centered around five themes that mainly focus on the changes and achievements of Shenzhen over the past four decades. The exhibition re-enacts the life of pioneers that came to Shenzhen during the initial stage of reform and opening up, and the life of ordinary families in the 1990s. The Time Train uses the green-carriage train in the 1980s and 1990s as the prototype to carry on the dreams of early pioneers to Shenzhen.

The acoustic hall attracts visitors’ attention with its acoustic map on display. By pressing different areas on the map, visitors can hear different sounds representing aspects of old Shenzhen such as the roaring of machines at 3 a.m. in Daya Bay Nuclear Power Plant, the whistling of ferry at 8:10 a.m. at Nan’ao Ferry Port and the bustling at 3 p.m. at Moi Department Store. Old photos reflecting the changes in the lives of ordinary people also show the changes and achievements of Shenzhen with audio and video devices.

At the “Post Office,” visitors can write Time Postcards about their expectations for the future and enjoy an animation on the 40 years of achievements by scanning the 40 illustrations printed on the Reform and Opening Up Wall.
