Beijing Water Supply Museum

Beijing Water Supply Museum, Water supply educational museum in Dongzhimen Subdistrict, China.

The Beijing Water Supply Museum is a water management museum in Dongzhimen that displays collections of engineering equipment, infrastructure components, and historical water management tools. The exhibits are housed in two European-style buildings that incorporate architectural elements inspired by traditional Chinese garden design.

The museum was established in 2000 at the location of Beijing's first water supply facility built in 1908, which was created to improve fire safety following an imperial order. The site preserves the story of modern water infrastructure development in the city.

The exhibition halls show how people once collected water for daily use through traditional vessels and carrying tools on display. You can see the methods and objects that shaped water practices in the city's past.

The museum is closed on Mondays; it opens on other days from 9:00 to 16:30. Admission is free but requires an advance reservation because capacity is limited. The site is split: the museum sits north of the Beijing Water Meter Factory and is reached by going around the Second Ring Road, while the old factory gate and courtyard to the south belong to the factory. Guided tours are offered in Chinese and English.

The iron water tower that once stood at the plant's southwest corner was 54 m tall and held 750 m³. Its six-sided body carried twelve coiling dragons and wind chimes on each face. Demolished in 1957, it was rebuilt as a model in the exhibition hall from drawings recovered from the German designer's descendants.
