Three Gorges Museum, Chongqing

Great museum where you can learn a lots about China history not just of the Three Gorges Damn. You should expect to spend at least an hour here. The place is free of charge. I would give a five-star except for that there a lot of exhibitions with only Chinese description so you can't really know what it is.

Good exhibits on the local area and the Three Gorges, particularly the Ba people that lived here. The geologic history of the gorges was interesting, and I enjoyed that they had river stones from before the dam was put in. They also had an informative, if a bit random, exhibit on all the different minorities throughout China. The top floor was filled with the collection of a benefactor who collected as many things as he could during the Cultural Revolution, so it's a bit of a mish-mash, but there are beautiful ceramics and calligraphy from the various dynasties. My only complaint is there's no air-conditioning in it, so it can get sweltering.

Free entrance. Great porcelain artifacts and statutes. There is an antique store on the first floor towards the back of the gift shop. It's worth a visit. Some real antiques you can actually touch and buy if you can haggle a fair price.

Beautiful museum showcasing the lives of the people along the 3 gorges and it’s history. Beautiful artifacts and tons of exhibits to explore. Cater at least 2.5hours if you want to explore every exhibit. Don’t miss the amazing 360 panoramic documentary of the before and after construction of the dam and how it affects the look of the Yangtze river.

Very good museum that you can see many China history including yangzhe river three gorges.
