PLA Naval Museum

As China’s only national‑level military museum fully dedicated to the history of the People’s Liberation Army Navy, it covers 235,000 square metres and consists of three major zones: indoor history exhibition halls, land‑based ordnance display area and offshore warship pier zone. Real retired military hardware forms its greatest highlight. Visitors may board meritorious warships including Anshan Destroyer (China’s first‑generation destroyer), Jinan Destroyer (China’s first domestically‑built missile destroyer), Yingtan Frigate and Yangtze River Gunboat. The landmark Long March‑1 nuclear‑powered attack submarine is available for in‑depth interior tour with separate reservation. The outdoor land zone exhibits decommissioned fighter jets, bombers, anti‑ship missiles, torpedoes and coastal artillery pieces. Four indoor galleries chronicle China’s naval evolution from late‑Qing coastal defence, the First Sino‑Japanese War, to the founding and modern blue‑water development of the PLA Navy, displaying historical documents, cultural relics and war‑hero mementos. Optional paid experiences include 4D naval‑battle cinema and ship‑simulator rides. Combining genuine military hardware, historical documentation and coastal scenery, it is a top‑rated destination for military enthusiasts, student study tours and family visitors.
