Overview Transport Tickets Specialties

The China Wetland Museum is located in the southeastern part of Hangzhou's Xixi National Wetland Park, covering an area of 20,200 square meters. It officially opened to the public in November 2009 and is the only large-scale, popular national-level professional museum in China approved by the State Forestry Administration that centers around the theme of wetlands, combining collection, research, exhibition, education, promotion, and entertainment.

The building of the China Wetland Museum was designed by the renowned Japanese architect Arata Isozaki, who is well-versed in both Eastern and Western cultures. The design uses the concept of a "green mound" as its central expression, blending the entire structure seamlessly with the hillside, resulting in a uniquely shaped building. The 30-meter-high observation tower offers an unobstructed panoramic view of the Xixi Wetland and stands as the sole iconic structure within the Xixi National Wetland Park.
