Guangzhou Railway Museum explores railway history, rolling stock and the development of the local network, offering an indoor cultural visit for families and transport enthusiasts.

Objects, documents, images and reconstructed spaces give historical stories a concrete setting. Together they reveal particular strands of Guangzhou's trading, social, artistic, technological or urban development.

Guangzhou Railway Museum offers a window onto local culture in Old Liwan. Pairing it with nearby historic streets, memorials or museums helps connect individual exhibits with the city's wider history.
