With the battle against the novel coronavirus pneumonia going on, many have stayed at home for more than a month. Though it may have been relaxing at first, you’re probably fighting back the urge to break through a wall and do, well, anything!
新冠肺炎疫情防控战仍在继续，许多人宅在家已经超过一个月了。虽然刚开始很惬意，但你或许已经忍不住想要破门而出，找点事情做了。
It’s OK. Calm down. You can’t visit many public spaces right now, but you can use your phone immediately to do it virtually. Many online entertainment resources have been launched to help stay-at-home visitors have fun free of charge, Xinhua News Agency reported.
好吧，冷静点。现在还不是去公共场所的时候，但你可以立刻用手机进行一番虚拟游览。据新华社报道，多种线上娱乐资源都已向公众免费开放，让游客们宅家也能乐翻天。
Online exhibitions
线上展览
Last year, the Palace Museum released a program called the Panoramic Palace Museum on its official website.
去年，故宫博物院在官网上推出了一款名为“全景故宫”的项目。
By putting on a virtual reality (VR) headset, people can take a “tour” of the 600-year-old museum, going slowly without a time restriction. This means you can explore its halls, gardens and courtyards, learn about the stories behind the exhibits and feast your eyes on the museum’s famous snowscape.
戴上虚拟现实的头戴式设备后，人们便能不受时间限制，慢慢“游览”这座拥有600年历史的博物馆。这意味着你能探索故宫内的宫殿、花园以及院落，并且了解这些展览背后的故事，还可以大饱眼福，观赏故宫著名的雪景。
“During a field visit to the Palace Museum, it is tough to visit some hidden places and view all the palace decorations in detail,” Li Bin, a museum lover from Xi’an, told China Daily. “VR technology has made these experiences possible. It helps me beat the boredom at home.”
“实地游览故宫博物院很难去到一些隐蔽之处，并且仔细观赏各个宫殿的装饰，”来自西安的博物馆爱好者李冰（音译）在接受《中国日报》采访时表示。“虚拟现实技术令这些体验成为了可能，帮助我在家里打发时间。”
According to Xinhua, a total of 30 museums across China have provided similar online exhibitions to people.
据新华社报道，全国共有30家博物馆向公众提供类似的线上展览。
