The museum was designed to showcase the unique history of the Chinese people together with their culture and wisdom. They decided to build the museum in the shape of a dragon as it is a symbol of China and recognizable around the world. You will find that it is not the normal kind of museum where you wander around by yourself. You have to join tours that leave regularly between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. The multimedia experience is unique as it takes you through the history of the Chinese civilization though the use of light and sound shows
