Chongqing Industrial Museum
重庆工业博物馆
An industrial heritage museum built inside the old factory halls of the Chongqing Iron and Steel Company. Giant rolling mills and steam engines tell the story of wartime relocation and Chongqing’s industrial history.
The Chongqing Industrial Museum is on the site of the former Chongqing Iron and Steel Section Mill in Dadukou District. It preserves industrial artifacts such as an 8,000-horsepower steam engine relocated from the Hanyang Iron Works during the War of Resistance. The main exhibition hall covers Chongqing’s industrial development since modern times. The Steel Soul Hall shows the rise and fall of the steel industry. Within the park, blast furnaces, factory buildings, railway tracks, and graffiti form an industrial-style creative district. The main hall requires free advance booking (check the official site), and the museum is closed on Mondays. Get off at a station near Dadukou on Metro Line 2 and walk to the museum.
