16. The ingenious “Facekini”

In the photo, full-face masks cover up women’s faces for sun protection while enjoying the beach.

These Chinese women in “facekinis” enjoy an afternoon at the No. 1 bathing beach in the northern city of Qingdao. Cautious beach lovers on this coastline have taken skin protection to a heightened level and now use “facekinis”, which are masks that shield the face from exposure to the sun, the Telegraph explained. These self-styled full-face protective masks can come in different colors and designs. Chinese women continue to stand up for the right to bare nothing because having a lighter skin tone and a face with no wrinkles (which are caused by UV rays) are important parts of the famous Asian beauty standard.

17. The Watermelon Museum

A museum is dedicated to the history and genealogy of watermelons.

According to Atlas Obscura, the 4,000-square meter Daxing Watermelon Museum was founded in 2002. It exhibits the history of the watermelon from its birthplace in southern Africa to its eventual ascent into space. Like literally, it covers every aspect of watermelons, from their history, to their growing methods, and to China’s “watermelon culture”. You don’t have to worry about getting drenched because this futuristic museum is only packed with wax watermelons displaying variations of watermelons around the world. Ancient Chinese poems, informational signages, and plaques that make reference to this fruits are also on display. Even the whole building itself is ornamented with an impressionistic watermelon entrance.
