    The Museum is a new Glass and steel structure in South Beijing. Nice collection of vintage Chinese and foreign cars and some slightly annoying shops. Cars were placed for 4 different floors. Building itself is big and it easily to feeling that museum is half empty. it is quite far from the city center and more than 10 mins unpleasant walk from Keyilu station. And half of it is designed as an attraction for kids. But there are many Chinese cars, especiailly from the 50s and 60s, which is very good reason to go there if you are a car enthusiast.
