Good Chinese history museum with many artifacts. Very crowded. Good for people who like to go to museum for historical stuffs, but too crowded for my taste.

Very popular and tickets go quickly. Was very pleased that viator managed to get them. Museum very busy and exhibits sometimes difficult to see but well worth it. Seats at entrance but otherwise nowhere to take a rest. Most toilets squat toilets with 1 western per block so if you prefer these, be prepared for a wait. A really worthwhile visit though, charting the history of China through some stunning exhibits.
