By their very nature, museums, heritage sites and other tourist favourites tend to be backwards-looking, but that doesn\u2019t mean there aren\u2019t global attractions that flip the script to imagine what lies ahead \u2013 or what could exist in alternate universes.<\/p>\n

From interactive museums to cities built on tomorrow\u2019s green tech and imagination-firing immersive-art zones, the following destinations offer a passport to innovative worlds, be they future or imaginary ones.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a \u201ccolossal interstellar spacecraft\u201d and located in the Guangming Science City, the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum is an eight-storey (two subterranean) architectural masterpiece designed by Zaha Hadid Architects that opened last May. It features an eye-catching U-shaped stainless-steel facade and this year was named one of the world\u2019s seven most beautiful museums by the compilers of the Prix Versailles lists.<\/p>\n

This immersive, tech-driven playground is packed with hands-on artificially intelligent robotics, simulation technologies and state-of-the-art cinemas. Outdoor terraces and a sunlit central atrium integrate the building with the surrounding Science Park and the museum is easy to reach across a walkway from the Guangming Metro Station, a mere 90 minutes from Hong Kong\u2019s Central MTR station (depending on connections and border-crossing queues).<\/p>\n

Another Zaha Hadid Architects masterpiece, the Chengdu Science Fiction Museum \u201cfloats\u201d on Jingrong Lake and boasts a \u201cfluid starburst\u201d roof that reflects the expanding nebula of the universe to viewers on the outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
