🍵 **Hidden Nearby Activities**
▪ Hand-brewed tea at Zhouqiao Old Street: A 5-minute walk to "Tea Pavilion," where the owner brews tea for you in Jiading bamboo carved tea cups
▪ Night view of Fahua Pagoda: Accessible through the alley behind the museum’s back door, the lights turn on at 7:00 PM, creating a scene like in "A Dream of Splendor"

⚠️ **Avoid Pitfalls**
• Closed on Mondays! Don’t make the same mistake we did by showing up then
• Zhenru Exhibition Hall under maintenance (until August 2024), call ahead if you want to see Buddhist artifacts
