PLA Navy Museum
中国人民解放军海军博物馆
China's only military museum that comprehensively presents the development of the navy, where visitors can board decommissioned warships and submarines.
The PLA Navy Museum sits between Laiyang Road, Lu Xun Park and Xiaoqingdao. It opened in 1989, and a new building opened in 2019. Several decommissioned warships are moored at the outdoor pier, including the destroyer Anshan, which visitors can board. The land exhibition area displays shipborne aircraft, guns and missiles, while the main hall tells the history of the People's Navy. Admission is free, but visitors must make a real-name reservation with their ID card. It is generally closed on Mondays. It is next to Xiaoqingdao and Lu Xun Park, so the three can easily be visited together.
Opening hours
Closed Mondays; 9:00–17:00 (reservation required)
