National Water Museum of China, Water heritage museum in Xiaoshan District, China.

The National Water Museum of China is a water-conservancy museum in Ningwei Subdistrict, Xiaoshan District, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, under the Ministry of Water Resources. Its main building is a tower-shaped structure with 36,000 square metres of floor area, opened on 22 March 2010 inside the Water Museum Park.

The museum was founded in 2010 and documents 5000 years of Chinese water infrastructure and management practices. It shows how society learned over centuries to use and control rivers.

The museum is run directly by the Ministry of Water Resources of the People's Republic of China, and its tower-shaped main building opened on 22 March 2010, a date chosen to mark World Water Day. The displays present water control as a state concern rather than a local custom.

The museum is easy to reach and has regular hours, allowing visitors to explore both indoor and outdoor areas. It is best to plan for several hours to see the different exhibition zones thoroughly.

A special highlight is the top floor exhibition where historical dragon seal displays appear alongside a large sculpture of a coiled dragon. This combination blends ancient symbolism with modern artistic design.
