The 10 Best Specialty Museums in Beijing, China

May 19, 2021 Enedina Augsburger

Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

Paleozoological Museum of China

Reviewed By daphiness - Luzon, Philippines

We crossed the street using underground pedestrian pass from the Beijing zoo to this small but great museum. Because of the size (small but multilevel), it was easy to enjoy. Highlight definitely the large fossils of different dinosaurs and ice age animals. English information was available. There are 3D shows but didn't go anymore. At the ground floor there's even a small lab where kids can "excavate" their own fossil - I would have loved to do it if I were a kid but my own kids were tired from a whole day at the zoo. Another side of the museum was about the evolution of man with displays of tools they used and dioramas. We didn't have to visit the Peking Man (Zhoukoudian) site anymore given our short stay in Beijing. It was easy to get a Didi back to our hotel.
