★★★★★7 years ago辽金城垣遗址博物馆，是在水关遗址的原址上修建的，水关遗址在地下一层，可以看到木石结构的水关建筑，最下层是基础密植的木桩，木桩上面再放置了排列整齐的衬石枋，衬石枋上面又固定了地面石和砌石板墙。木桩、衬石枋、石板之间的连接非常紧密，还有榫卯固定。这处遗址是当年金中都城内的河水流入南护城河时通过的水关。

★★★★★12 years agoThe small museum locates in one residential area, but still worth the trip. The museum is the only museum that assembly shown wares in Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. In B1 ground, you can find the Archaeological Sites found to be a small part of a draining system in Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty. The Stone and the Wood are all the original ones. The museum will soon be closed to be decorated in Oct 2013 to have more ware from Liao Dynasty and Jin Dynasty in the show room, so if you don't have time to wait until the decoration is over and you are really love to see the site, be quick.
