Chongqing Three Gorges Migration Memorial

重庆三峡移民纪念馆

The only national first-class museum in China devoted to Three Gorges resettlement, telling the story of the million-plus migrants and the changes in the reservoir area.

Located on the north bank of the river in Wanzhou, this is the only national first-class museum in China dedicated to the Three Gorges Project's resettlement. Through artifacts, old photographs, reconstructed scenes and multimedia displays, it tells the story of more than a million people relocated from the reservoir area. It also exhibits relics unearthed in Wanzhou and views of the old town. The rooftop terrace overlooks the river and reservoir. Admission is free, but visitors must show an ID card or book in advance. The museum is usually closed on Mondays. A visit takes about 1.5 hours and can be combined with Xishan Park and the riverside promenade for a half-day city tour.
