Guizhou Third Front Construction Museum
贵州三线建设博物馆
Tells the story of Liupanshui's rise as an industrial city through the Third Front construction; old objects and recreated scenes give a strong sense of the era.
Liupanshui was built in the 1960s as part of the Third Front construction program to develop its coal resources. The Guizhou Third Front Construction Museum lies beside Shuicheng Ancient Town in Zhongshan District. It uses artifacts, old photographs and recreated scenes to tell the story of Third Front projects in coal, steel and railways (including the Guiyang–Kunming line and the Shui–Da line), and of the builders who moved there from across the country. The exhibits suit families and history enthusiasts. Entry is free but requires advance booking or an ID card, and the museum is usually closed on Mondays. It can be combined with Shuicheng Ancient Town in the same half-day.
Opening hours
Tue–Sun, 9:00 AM–5:00 PM (closed Mondays; check official listings)
