Stayed at the Super 8 near the Olympic Park in Beijing last month. The location was great, close to everything but the rooms felt a little...dated. My biggest issue was the wifi

Yeah, Super 8s are usually pretty budget-friendly, so I guess you get what you pay for with the rooms. Wifi can be a nightmare in some older hotels in @Beijing, though.

Wow, that sounds amazing! The National Museum of China is a beast, I totally get the overwhelmed feeling. A week wouldn't even scratch the surface. Unlabeled artifacts? That's a classic museum mystery! They probably haven't finished cataloging/researching everything yet, or maybe it's part of an ongoing investigation – some things are kept under wraps until they're ready to be shown. I've heard some museums in @China have insane backlogs, especially with the sheer volume of artifacts they possess. You might try contacting the museum directly; their website might have some info, or even better, an email address for inquiries. Good luck with your investigation! Let us know if you find anything out!
