Traveler reviews
Paulo Dutra
★★★★★10 years agoIt's a 1.8 km walk (25 min) from exit D of the Dawayao metro station on line 14. All items are beautifully arranged, behind glass, with simple English details. The museum provides good detail in all aspects of the Chinese people’s war against Japanese aggression, "Second Sino-Japanese War (1937–1945)". It's a worth visit to understand Chinese attitude towards Japan, towards Taiwan, towards peaceful coexistence. There's interesting bits on how the Chinese diaspora gave support back to China; how China issued visas to Jewish refugees to escape. From here you can stroll to the nearby Wanping Fortress or Marco Polo Bridge. Gate fee is free with a passport.

★★★★★10 months agoReally well done WWII Museum. It's huge and detailed; be prepared to spend the full day. Everything in both English and Mandarin. Entry is free, no reservations required. A highlight of Beijing.
