4.5 Qingdao Beer Museum (901 reviews)
- Great exhibition and comes with great beers!
Sunday: 8:30 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums

Great range of exhibits showcasing the history of the establishment of Tsingtao beer. Easy to get to via Subway Line 2 station Taidong. Get out at exit A, turn left then left again into Dengzhou Road walk 200-300m. We went in January on a weekday and there were hardly anyone. No queues, no crowds. The basic entry was RMB50 pp, RMB25 for students or seniors (69-69yo, 70+ is free). The entry fee comes with two beers (two beers applies for student entries!!). See more..
4.5 Qingdao Site Museum of the Former German Governor's Residence (180 reviews)
- Left by the German
Speciality Museums

As the governing body, German built this residence for the governor while staying in Qingdao, left their European influence behind this seaport city. Just looking from the exterior of the building and the garden, one may easily think that it's somewhere in Europe. The interior design is also admirable and pretty throughout. See more..
4.0 Zhangyu Wine Cultural Museum (87 reviews)
- Splendid information on the Chinese wine-making culture
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Speciality Museums

I was surprised to learn that the wine cellars here were built in 1894. The post information is displayed in Chinese and English. We enjoyed the wine tasting. See more..
4.5 Shandong Museum (56 reviews)
- An Outstanding Collection
Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums

This new museum offers a great look at ancient Chinese art. There are galleries exhibiting ceramics, bronzes, statues, calligraphy, textiles and history. Although there isn't much English signage, the works are stunning. There is a good audio guide in English if you want a deeper context for the masterpieces you'll see. Admission is free if you present your passport or id card. CLOSED on Mondays. See more..
4.5 Liugongdao Exposition (41 reviews)
- must see whale exhibit
Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Speciality Museums

My son and I visited the Expo site on Luigong Island to see the whale exhibit. The Expo site may be found by turning right on leaving the ferry exit, crossing the street, walk for 5 minutes and the entrance is on the left. The main landmarks of the Expo are the temple and dragon tower. The expo charge for a visit is covered in the ticket price to Luigong Island, and tickets need to be presented at the entrance. There are quite a few exhibits and gift shops on the Expo site, but we were short on time, and decided to see the whale exhibit, which is to the right of the temple. The temple was colourful, and had a collection of vases and urns on view. There was a budha with many beautifully painted guardians on either side. There was also a exhibit detailing the history of Luigong Island (mainly British exhibts) and activities in the daily life of it's inhabitants mainly during the 19th century. The whale exhibit was informative and well displayed. There were stuffed whales and skeletons on view. The view of all expo exhibits could probably be done in less than an hour. See more..
4.0 Kite Museum (33 reviews)
- Very informative kite museum, Everything you ever wanted to know!
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums

Weifang is known to be super windy, and is the site for the annual Weifang International Kite Festival. This is a serious kite flying competition as well, with many world records being broken there. Fun and super informative! See more..
4.0 Yantai Whale Shark Acquarium (29 reviews)
- Submarines designed after sharks
Speciality Museums

The sharks are amazing to watch. Lots of them here. Some submarines were designed after studying the movement and shape of sharks. Well worth a visit for shark enthusiasts. See more..
4.5 Qingzhou Museum (19 reviews)
- Most appealing Chinese buddhist sculptures
Sunday: 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM Speciality Museums

I have been to Qingzhou quite a few times, always to visit this museum. This museum houses a fine collection of buddhist sculptures of the 6th century created by local artists. Their style is completely different from those in other areas even in the same period. They are mixtures of the linearity of the Ghardara style and the voluminous features of the Mathura stye in India. Underlying them is a unique Chinese subtlety reminding me of the Botticelli of Italian Renaissance. If you happen to be a lover of buddhist sculptures, this is your Mecca. See more..
3.5 Zibo Chinese Ceramics Museum (11 reviews)
- Ceramics galore
Sunday: 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums

When I got off the bus to explore the buildings next by, I was surprised that the big builing was actually the Ceramics Museum. The entrance ticket was free and they just looked at my passport. It was a very quiet day so I really took my time looking at the international gallery where ceramics from other countries were displayed. Then everything else is from China. I love ceramics so I really enjoyed looking at the designs and forms. I wosh I could afford them There ceramic shops adjecanet to the museum but I can only windowshop. It was a pleasant visit and a must see if you are a ceramic enthusiast. See more..
3.5 Yinqueshan Han Bamboo Slips Museum (8 reviews)
- Fascinating Look at Ancient Times
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums

Surviving calligraphy on bamboo slips tells the story of battle strategies perfected thousands of years ago by Sun Tzu. Beautiful traditional Chinese architecture houses relics of the Han Dynasty era. If you are fascinated by The Art of War, here lie the original scripted words and instructions of Sun Tzu, miraculously preserved after being submerged in water for millennia beneath the present-day city of Linyi in Shandong Province, China.

3.5 Weifang Museum (7 reviews)
- Weifang Museum
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Speciality Museums

4.5 Canal Museum (6 reviews)
- So worth the time!!!

4.0 Linzi Football Museum (6 reviews)
- The New Football Museum is Now Open
Sunday: 7:55 AM - 5:02 PM Speciality Museums

Went there today, a taxi from the town was 12 Yuan. Be aware that it's out of town and you'll probably have to get the 237 bus back; walk onto the museum road, turn left, five hundred metres to the lights, turn right and the bus stop is about 50 metres. 1 Yuan for the bus. A brand new museum, 30 Yuan entry. They may want to see your passport! The first floor is about the Qi dynasty and early football. The second floor is the real football museum. A little about English football, a nice exhibit about the predidents of FIFA, a lot about World Cup, a nd quite a bit about Chinese football. Most of the labels are in Chinese but some have English translations. There's a small coffee shop but at 25Yuan is a Premiership price. Similarly in the gift shop, nothing under 300Yuan! The museum is on the museum park, which when finished, which it nearly is will be fantastic. Overall, a nice way to spend three hours. See more..
3.0 Tengzhou Museum (5 reviews)
- 滕州，墨子的故乡
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM Speciality Museums

半月前有幸到滕州办事，真的颠覆了我先前对滕州的想象。
滕州是墨子和鲁班的故乡，又是汉画象石的集中发现地。滕州博物馆正准备迁新址而没有开放，听说我是特意来参观的，为我打开了大汶口的出土文物展室。
墨子、鲁班和汉画象石馆都集中在著名的龙泉古塔周围，形成了一个颇具规模的旅游区。而修得相当到位的纪念馆均是不收门票的，作为滕州这样一个小城市真是难能可贵的。 See more..
4.0 Museum of the Chinese Han Dynasty Inscriptions in Qufu (5 reviews)
- 曲阜孔子的故乡
Sunday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Speciality Museums

公司的人组织去了趟曲阜，要从北京到曲阜坐车真是太累了路上还遇到堵车，呵呵不过大家很是兴奋，到曲阜后在烟雾缭绕中的曲阜城给人神秘的感觉，期待兴奋还有点惴惴不安。 See more..

3.5 China E'jiao Museum (3 reviews)
- Ejiao is NO GOOD
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:30 PM Speciality Museums

A museum to PROMOTE using donkey hides to make gelatin for a long life, weight loss and more energy? This is simply unacceptable and it is simply untrue. By promoting and perpetuating this traditional medicinal myth, the world’s donkey populations are being decimated! Wake up, China! The world will not tolerate this or other “traditional medicine” myths, like eating dog meat makes you stronger. See more..

4.5 Fangzi Coal Mine Heritage Park (3 reviews)
- 一个曾经辉煌而被遗忘的地方
Speciality Museums

坊子曾经最繁华的地方，坊子历史的纪念，再过去这边上还有一座山叫做渣子山估计很少有人知道了，那是我小时候这里还没有这么一所博物馆，那时煤矿的效益还不错，人们在井下疯狂的挖煤，挖出来的一些渣土就日积月累的堆积，从数十年前就一直的堆堆成了一座山来，水管也在井下不停的抽水，生生的抽出了一条河来，再后来随着时代的变迁产业结构的调整煤矿关了，山也被一辆辆卡车给运到了潍坊的海滨填海，而那条河也断流了，这煤矿给坊子带来了很多荣誉和历史，人们也慢慢的遗忘了哺育他们的地方，给坊子带来了铁路，给坊子带来了经济，也带来了侵略者掠夺属于中国土地上的资源，煤矿也限制了坊子老区的发展，让这个在二十一世纪飞速发展的城市，留住了一些乡土，随着城市的变迁规划周围人们迎来了拆迁，建起了一栋栋高楼，而在未来这里将真正的成为一家博物馆一个让坊子人回忆的地方。

毛主席是新中国的开国元勋，他在人民心中留下了不可磨灭的记忆。这个馆的存在非常必要，有利于对孩子进行教育，认识到我们国家一步步富强离不开一代代人的努力。

3.5 Zibo Museum (3 reviews)
- Disappointing, unless you like small museums in big buildings
Sunday: 7:55 AM - 5:02 PM Speciality Museums

Such a huge building for such a tiny museum! Most of the building doesn't appear to be used for anything. The museum itself occupies perhaps one corner of the building. I was expecting more - a lot more! The only reason I didn't give this attraction the lowest rating is that what little there is to see is at least informative. If you're an archaeology buff, you might be particularly interested in this unearthing of Zibo's very ancient past. I have at least a passing interest in history; so, I found the exhibits mildly interesting. The plaza out front is, frankly, a bit more interesting, particularly when (mainly elderly) people are out flying kites. See more..

4.5 Zhucheng Museum (2 reviews)
- Good presentation of artifacts, lacking English
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums

The museum spans across two magnificent buildings. As you enter the courtyard, the building on the right contains four levels (the fourth is not currently open) of historical artifacts and artwork from across the various dynasties and beyond. The building straight ahead is more dedicated to the "heroes" of Zhucheng, who include poets, writers, martyrs for the communist cause and well-known communist party members. Some helpful advice for non-speakers of Chinese, you will need to get a free ticket to enter the museum. This is found in the first building on the right as you enter the courtyard, then on the far right of the steps. You will need to show your photo ID which they will scan, then they will give you a locker to store your things and a receipt. This is all free of charge. The first museum displayed a large range of stone engraved artifacts and sculptures, scrolls of calligraphy and Chinese art, porcelain and clay pottery, stone stamps and ink trays, jade sculptures, ancient tools and weapons and some photos and modern art depicting the history of Zhucheng and it's present and future. There are English titles on most placards but the descriptions are only in Chinese. There are also few dates mentioned, only the dynasty or period the artifacts come from e.g. Qing, Ming etc. The second museum is difficult to take in without being able to read Chinese, but it appears to be mostly a shrine to the heroes of communism. The first museum's English descriptions of each room also seem to bolster the greatness of the city of Zhucheng. Perhaps this is why the museum is free of charge as it may be used to spread propaganda. The first museum is worth visiting if you have time to kill, and there is not much in this town for foreigners to kill time on. P.S. there are no dinosaurs here despite what the photos show See more..
3.5 Longkou Museum (2 reviews)
- Longkou
Sunday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Speciality Museums
This is a typical small village in China. It has all the amenities that an American traveler could need, but still has the old traditional Chinese small village areas. I do NOT recommend driving here. None of these people would pass a rudimentary driving test in the US. The public beach is amazing, but very crowded. See more..

小小的博物馆，几件不能提神的陶瓷制品组成了这个博物馆，几件很旧的陶器应该是这里的镇馆之宝了，剩下的就是现代的瓷器制品，雪白的磁盘子，瓦罐等等。卫生还可以，比较亮 See more..

4.0 RiZhaoShi ChengShi GuiHua ZhanLanGuan (1 review)
- 比博物馆更有趣
Speciality Museums

日照城市规划馆位于植物园南侧，就某种意义而言是比那个狭小而陈旧的日照市博物馆更有趣的地方，在这个现代时髦而免费的展馆里你可以很清晰的了解到日照作为一个城市的过去现在与未来。虽然日照作为一个城市的历史源头可以上溯到汉代的海曲县，但其实今日的城市是由清末民初的石臼所港口发展起来的。“老市区”在靠近现在西站附近，90年代以来市区以日照火车站为中心东扩与石臼所港口连成一片。在未来的规划中，更大规模的四亿吨新港将在更南侧的岚山拔地而起，与江苏的连云港相通；而石臼所旧港则将“退港还海”，成为青岛邮轮码头。上承青岛的转移工业，下通连云港的海运码头，这也涂上了日照以钢铁、石化为主的来料加工的工业底色。 See more..
