China Railway Museum Zhengyangmen

The China Railway Museum Zhengyangmen, located near Tian'anmen Square, details the evolution of rail transport in China. Housed within the historic Zhengyangmen East Railway Station, the museum spans four floors and features exhibits including maps, photographs, models, and a dedicated section to high-speed rail. While it doesn't showcase a large collection of locomotives (those are located at the Dongjiao branch), it provides a comprehensive overview of the railway's impact on China's development. The building itself is a striking example of European-style architecture, offering a unique contrast to its surroundings.
