National Museum of China 🇨🇳

If you have a free day in Beijing and are unsure where to go, I recommend visiting the largest museum in China. The National Museum of China showcases exhibitions on the country's extensive history and culture spanning over 5,000 years, covering various dynasties. The museum has five floors. The top floor features both temporary and permanent exhibitions, while the ground floor is dedicated to "Ancient China," displaying artifacts from the Stone Age to the Qing Dynasty. Exhibits include ancient relics, clothing, treasures, crowns, rings, and both 3D-printed replicas and authentic items. Highlight: If you're interested in seeing jade armor, this is the place to visit! ✨ Admission is free, but you must register in advance. Reservations can be made up to 7 days prior via WeChat. The museum is closed every Monday and open from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Getting there: Take subway line 1 to Tian'anmen East Station and exit at Gate C (North 2). The museum is located opposite Tian'anmen Square, making it possible to visit both sites in one day.

National Museum of China

Located on the east side of Tiananmen Square, the National Museum of China is a treasure house of Chinese civilization. A one-day tour can start from the basic display of "Ancient China", stroll through the five thousand years of history, admire national treasures such as bronze, ceramics, jade, and feel the profoundness of Chinese culture. Then, you may want to move to the "Road to Revival" to review the hardships and glory of modern China. The museum regularly holds high-level temporary special exhibitions. It is recommended to check the official website in advance and plan the focus of the visit. Lunch can be solved in the museum. Due to the rich exhibits, it is recommended to wear comfortable shoes and reserve enough time so that you can immerse yourself in the ocean of history and art in one day and gain a lot.
