Dioramas
The diorama shows what it looks like when Line 1 passes over Line 2. Inside it, there is a model of a pair of empty shoes. They are a memorial to the metro fatalities that happened before there were platform screen doors.[2]
5D Cinema
The 5D cinema shows a display of what to do when the metro train catches fire in a station.[2]
Simulator
