Introduction
As a city, Beijing has an uninterrupted history of over 3,000 years, which makes it unique in the world. The cultural antiques and historical artifacts bestowed by each era were passed down from one generation to another, turning the city into a huge museum itself. There are some 130 officially registered museums in Beijing, preserving 3.2 million artifacts in total.

Beijing's museums, similar to the spread of a sumptuous buffet, may fulfil all types of tastes and all sorts of choices. Blessed by its advantageous status as the nation's capital, Beijing has gathered a great number of national museums including the National Museum of China, the Palace Museum and the National Art Museum of China, among others. The rich collections in these museums demonstrate the splendor of a great and proud country. There are also a great variety of specialty museums in Beijing, such as the China Red Sandalwood Museum, Beijing Aviation Museum, Beijing Exhibition Hall of Ancient Currencies, and the Beijing Postal Museum. Preserving every step of the developments made in the various professional fields, these specialized museums lead visitors through fascinating tunnels of space and time to explore to their hearts' content. Beijing also contains a great number of former residences and memorial halls of historic figures. These include those of Cao Xueqin, Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, Soong Ching Ling, Xu Beihong and Mei Lanfang. Many of Beijing's districts and counties have their own museums that also display their various unique features.
