The Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall is a unique place where political science meets history. Here you can see how the ancient imperial city has turned into a modern center of global economy and technology.

First, the Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall introduces visitors to the ancient history of the immortal city of Beijing. At the same time, it presents the modern achievements of the Chinese capital in the field of urban planning, and the prospects for the city's development in the future.

The Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall is a unique place that enables travelers to immerse themselves in the history and culture of China.

The exhibition hall has four floors, the exhibition area is 8,000 square meters, and the construction area is 16,000 square meters.

The hall was opened in 2004 and is located in the very heart of Beijing, in Zhonglou Square.

The main decoration of the hall is a large-scale model of Beijing, made in a 1:1000 scale. All 18 districts of the city are reproduced in detail on a huge area. Here you can see more than 100 thousand buildings, as well as an intricate network of roads, parks, and rivers.

In addition to the models, the halls store rare historical photographs, old maps, and even real archaeological finds, such as elements of Qing dynasty columns and ancient wells.

The Beijing Planning Exhibition Hall actively uses multimedia, as theatrical shows and performances dedicated to the future of Beijing help to understand the city's economic and ecological development strategies.

Interactive displays enable to compare Beijing with other major Chinese cities such as Shanghai or Guangzhou, and this gives a visual idea of the scale of development of the entire region.
