Xinhai Revolution Museum
辛亥革命博物馆
A modern museum at the south end of Shouyi Square that tells the full story of the 1911 Xinhai Revolution. Its building is V-shaped.
Opened in 2011 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, the museum has a red V-shaped building that symbolizes victory. It faces the Red Building across Shouyi Square, and both are now part of the Xinhai Revolution Museum Complex. Through artifacts, recreated scenes and multimedia displays, the exhibits trace the late Qing upheaval, the revolutionary groups, the Wuchang Uprising and the founding of the Republic, making it a great place to understand modern Chinese history. Free admission with advance reservation; closed on Mondays. About a 5-minute walk from Shouyi Road Station on Metro Line 4.
