Museum of Ancient Architecture

This fascinating museum features a large model of old Beijing and exhibits traditional architecture – a glimpse of life before the bulldozers came to the city. The museum is at the site of the Xiannong altar where Qing emperors performed ceremonies during the lunar spring equinox.
