Beijing Liao and Jin City Wall Museum, Archaeological museum in You'anmen, China.
The Beijing Liao and Jin City Wall Museum is an archaeological site that preserves an ancient water gate structure built into the ground. The place features an underground exhibition space with recovered objects and architectural remains from medieval Chinese dynasties.
The site came from the rediscovery of ancient gate structures that were connected to walls built during the Liao and Jin dynasties. The museum was later established to make these medieval remains accessible to the public.
The place shows how people lived and worked during the Liao and Jin periods. Visitors can see household items and building parts that reveal daily activities and crafts from these medieval times.
The museum is free to enter and easy to reach by public transport. Visitors should know that the exhibition is located underground, so walking in comfortable shoes is a good idea.
The place shows water passages from when Beijing served as the Jin Dynasty capital. These underground channels and gates let visitors explore engineering work from the 12th century.
