Why Travelers Love This
Overview
From prehistoric times to the Qing dynasty, this hall traces the entire arc of ancient China. Neolithic painted jars, the Jade Dragon, a Warring States bronze “fridge,” the colossal Houmuwu Ding, the exquisite Siyang Fangzun, and Sanxingdui’s eerie masks—travel through Qin, Tang, Song, and Ming, where a crown of nine dragons and nine phoenixes gleams with imperial splendor, then onward to the Qing—the final chapter.

If Beijing has only one museum worth your time, it’s the National Museum of China. Walk through the ‘Ancient China’ hall on Floor B1, where over 1.4 million relics — from the Paleolithic era to the Ming and Qing dynasties — tell a vivid, touchable history of 5,000 years. Come face-to-face with the ‘Top Ten Treasures’, including the legendary Houmuwu Ding and the Four-ram Fangzun. From the ‘First Dragon of China’ (Hongshan jade dragon) to the dazzling Nine-Dragon Nine-Phoenix Crown of the Ming Dynasty, every artifact whispers a story that no textbook can convey. With our expert guide’s insider commentary, you won’t just see history — you’ll live it. In just half a day, you’ll cross a millennium. This is not a tour; it’s a time-travel experience that every Beijing visitor must have.
