The Beijing Museum of Natural History is the biggest natural history museum in China. Located at 126 Tianqiao Nan Dajie, Chongwen, the museum is housed in a cavernous 1950's building.
The collection of the Beijing Museum of Natural History is arranged into three groups: zoology, paleontology and botany. Together, there are 5,000 specimens for you to browse through.
I would say that the Paleontology Hall is the most fascinating. That's if you are into dinosaurs, as many visitors would be. You can view here the skeletal remains of prehistoric animals that roamed China from between 500 million years ago, right up "as recent as" to one million years ago.

Look out for the Lufengosaurus from the Jurassic period and the spine-nosed Qingdaosaurus from the late Cretaceous period.
In the Zoology section of the Beijing Museum of Natural History, you can see a stuffed menagerie mammals, marine life and birds.
There is also a section of the museum devoted to the evolution of humans, and if you're bold enough, head down to the basement to view cross-sections of human cadavers, pickled corpses, limbs and organs.
Less impressive perhaps, but certainly more placid, are the verdant displays of the botany section.

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
