Lonely Planet review for Three Gorges Museum
This sleek museum showcases the history of settlement in the Chóngqìng region. A 1st-floor exhibition about the Three Gorges includes a model of the dam, and upstairs you can learn more about southwest China's minority cultures through their clothing and artwork. Some exhibits have better English captions than others, but the artefacts are well presented throughout.
Although admission is free, you need a ticket from the booth outside on the square.
From the Dàxīgōu light rail station, the museum is about a 15-minute walk west along Renmin Lu.
