Beijing Wax Museum

　　Located within the Hall of Abstinence at Ditan Park, it is a wax museum displaying famous figures from various historical periods in China. It is also China’s first large-scale wax museum. The museum opened to the public in 1990, with a construction area of about 800 square meters. The building was originally used as a place for Ming and Qing emperors to fast before offering sacrifices to the earth, and consists of the main hall, west side hall, and east side hall. The wax museum utilizes the main hall, west side hall, and east side hall as three exhibition rooms. The first room is the Historical Figures Gallery; the second room is the Science and Technology Figures Gallery; the third room is the Literature and Art Figures Gallery. The three exhibition rooms collectively display 56 wax figures, each created based on historical photographs or materials.
