China Railway Museum, Railway museum in Chaoyang District, Beijing, China
The China Railway Museum is a facility dedicated to the history of rail transport in the country, displaying vehicles from different periods. Visitors can see railway cars arranged on eight exhibition tracks that document how this form of transportation developed.
The facility began in the 1950s as a ministry exhibition honoring an anniversary of the People's Republic. It later grew into a standalone museum that documents the country's railway history.
The locomotives on display show how the country developed its railway technology over time. These vehicles tell the story of China's industrial growth and shape how people understand its technical past.
The museum is located in the northeastern part of the city, accessible by local transportation. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes, as the site requires walking through outdoor areas with multiple sections to explore on foot.
The museum sits on the grounds of a railway testing center, where real operational equipment can be seen alongside the displays. Visitors get to see two worlds at once: retired historical vehicles and working railway technology in action.
