National Museum of China 中国国家博物馆
Make the National Museum a deliberate collection visit: choose one historical period or material, then follow it through the galleries. The broad national scope can help you connect objects with places elsewhere on your trip. Keep the rest of the day light enough to retain what you have seen.
