Guangzhou Postal Museum, Postal heritage museum in Guangzhou, China.

Guangzhou Postal Museum houses a large collection of stamps, letters, and postal equipment that trace how mail services developed across China. The displays show the different methods and techniques used to send messages and packages over many centuries.

The building dates from 1897, when it housed the Qing imperial post office. A fire destroyed it on 9 November 1912; it was rebuilt in 1916, burned again in 1938 during the war, and was restored to its original form by the architect Yang Yongtang, completed in January 1942. It later served as the Guangdong Postal Administration and the Guangzhou postal bureaus, and opened as a museum on 13 May 2002.

The museum shows how communication through letters and packages changed over centuries in China. You see old correspondence, stamps, and the tools postal workers used to deliver messages across regions.

The museum is easy to reach by public transportation and located in central Guangzhou. Plan to spend one to two hours exploring the collections and moving through the different levels at a comfortable pace.

The building's south facade is a three-and-a-half-storey block 18 metres high, with a basement half-level; the north wing was built with two floors and later raised to three, giving 1,740 square metres of floor space. The whole structure is trapezoidal in plan and faces south.
