If you come to Beijing for tourism, the National Museum of China is one of the must-sees. Especially the underground exhibits, you need at least half a day to see them all. The museum is located on the east side of Tiananmen Square. During holidays, the Tiananmen East Station of the subway usually skips stations. So if you want to come to the museum during holidays, you can only get off at Wangfujing by subway and walk over. Remember to bring your ID card and don't wear slippers, not even sandals. If you really want to wear slippers to enter, you can only buy shoe covers outside, which will waste a lot of time because you have to keep walking. Finally, you must enter the museum at the specified time, otherwise you may not be able to enter. There are really too many people and no one can listen to your reasons for being late.
The National Museum of China is an institution that, on behalf of the country, collects, studies, displays and interprets representative material evidence that fully reflects China's fine traditional culture and advanced socialist culture. It is a national palace of history, culture and art and a cultural living room.
The National Museum of China currently has more than 1.4 million collections, covering ancient cultural relics, modern and contemporary cultural relics, rare books and ancient books, and artworks. Among them, there are 815,000 pieces (sets) of ancient cultural relics, 340,000 pieces (sets) of modern and contemporary cultural relics, more than 240,000 pieces (volumes) of rare books and ancient books, and a total of nearly 6,000 first-class cultural relics. In recent years, especially since the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the National Museum of China has increased its efforts to collect representative material evidence reflecting contemporary advanced culture, and publicly collected cultural relics collections from the society, collecting an average of about 50 sets of ancient cultural relics and more than 1,000 sets of modern and contemporary cultural relics, physical objects and artworks each year.
The exhibitions of the National Museum of China include three series: basic exhibitions, special exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions, forming a three-dimensional exhibition system covering theme exhibitions, basic exhibitions, special exhibitions, and temporary exhibitions. Among them, "Ancient China", "Road to Rejuvenation" and "Road to Rejuvenation in the New Era" are the basic exhibitions of the National Museum, and are also important positions for promoting Chinese traditional culture, advanced socialist culture, and cultivating and practicing the core socialist values. The special exhibitions are mainly based on the collection of cultural relics, including more than ten special exhibitions such as ancient Chinese bronzes, Buddhist statues, jades, porcelains, modern classic works of art, and African wood carvings. Temporary exhibitions include two categories: self-planned exhibitions and introduced exchange exhibitions, covering historical culture, fine cultural relics, archaeological discoveries, classic works of art, regional culture, international exchanges and other aspects, with an average of more than 40 exhibitions held each year.
The National Museum of China has rich research resources, a solid research foundation and strong research capabilities, and is the industry leader in the development of the domestic museum industry.
Since 2018, in accordance with the principle of "not seeking to collect but to exhibit, open cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win", we have established strategic cooperative relations with many cultural and museum institutions, institutes, universities and colleges at home and abroad, jointly carried out academic research, held high-quality cultural relics exhibitions, convened seminars, launched postdoctoral research workstations, and took the lead in establishing two international organizations, the BRICS Museum Alliance and the Silk Road Museum Alliance, striving to play a greater role and make greater contributions in promoting the core socialist values, enhancing cultural confidence, promoting exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign civilizations, and building a socialist cultural power.

After going through many security checks, it is worth going. Everything is wonderful and authentic. There are many treasures in the underground floor of ancient China. I sighed that the ancient craftsmen and ancestors had such a perfect aesthetics. I couldn't use a selfie stick, and I couldn't see it all. I made an appointment in the afternoon, and I had to wait until the time came to enter. The Phoenix Crown refrigerator magnets had been bought long ago. My order was B1 to take pictures of treasures → 2nd floor national flag group photo → 4th floor Phoenix Crown group photo. I haven't finished the rest. I can really spend a day to visit carefully. It's worth the trip. PS. Please note that if you make an appointment with the National Museum, you need to make an appointment with Tiananmen Square, otherwise you can't enter.
There are many collections in the museum, which are divided into the South and North areas. The space is large, and there are several commercial charging items, and the price is not low. However, for a general tour, it is enough to see the free ones. There are many fine products in the museum, such as the Jinlu Yuyi, Qingyang Zun, and Gou Jian, King of Yue, etc. Some are very complete and exquisitely made. In addition, there are many modern craft products, which are worth seeing. The only troublesome thing is that you need to make an appointment at least one day in advance, and you have to go through several security checks. If the appointment time is wrong, you can't enter.
A place worth a visit, not familiar with the queue intersection, queued in Tiananmen Square for a long time, walked a lot of wrong roads, Guobo has a separate queue passage, you can not enter Tiananmen Square to queue. The elderly have a priority ticket gate, you can not queue, very convenient. There are many exhibition halls inside, there are places to eat, but there are not many choices, sandwiches, ham, cold noodles, nothing else, shopping time about 5 hours, it is best to bring some food in, the overall is still more comfortable.
I booked Xiucai on Trip.com and said that Mr. Yuan's Guobo Double Hall explanation group, and the children liked it very much. Mr. Yuan is knowledgeable, humorous and funny, and will ask questions from time to time. The explanation of more than three hours has benefited everyone a lot.
National-level super treasure hall, museum atmosphere, people are proud 👍👍👍 I can't finish the Chinese treasure several times. This trip to the staggered peak has been very lucky to have a full eye, domineering, aura, the atmosphere of the country, non-verbal can also be seen.
A very perfect experience, broadening the horizon and increasing the knowledge of many unknown knowledge, understanding the rapid and innovative development of national culture and science and technology. It is highly recommended that you have time to experience it.
I couldn't grab the tickets for the National Expo, so I bought a special exhibition ticket temporarily. I got two in one stroke. The flow of people was not too much. I saw the national treasure. The cultural creation was very beautiful. I ate sandwiches and coffee on the second floor at noon.
