Most reviewed Speciality Museums in Chongqing Region
4.0Three Gorges Museum(486 reviews) - Excellent museum Thursday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
The displays about both the Three Gorges and the history of Chongqing were really interesting and worth seeing. While there is not a lot of English (more in the displays about the Three Gorges than the Chongqing history displays) the pictures were so interesting. The view over to the magnificent government building is also a highlight. It is easily accessible from the metro too. See more..
Ancient carvings go on and on. Many are still showing original coloring. Walking through the site you are really in Kung Fu Panda territory. A must see. See more..
We went to Dazu over the CNY Spring festival to visit the carvings. In fact it is 2 sites one in Beishan and the other in Baoding. You can buy a combined ticket for both sites for rmb120 or rmb90 for Baoding and rmb70 for Beishan. No discount for kids. We went to Baoding and as expected it was busy and a little congested with visitors and tour groups. However do not miss this one. This is a real must do and one of the best attraction we had visited. The carvings are absolutely spectaculiar and should not be missed if you intend visiting Chongqing.See more..

3.0Tongliang Museum(1 review) - Not a lot to see but... Speciality Museums
This museum was built to display artifacts unearthed locally, principally when they created a new reservoir in 1976. They rescued Tongliang's very own terracotta soldiers! Found in a Ming dynasty tomb of a local person of some eminence. Nothing so grand or impressive as those in the emperors tomb in Xi an as these are only 9" high, but nevertheless a good example of burial practises in feudal times. The museum advertises the "world famous Tongliang dragon lantern" but that display was not ready for the public yet! All the exhibits are labelled bilingually so if you have nothing to do for an hour or so why not give the museum a try?See more..
