Liaoning Provincial Museum

This treasure trove of relics and such is a true surprise in terms of scope. Considered as one of China's largest museums it houses more than 3,000 items of historical awe. The principal attraction is the skeletons of two mammoth dinosaurs, which spread out across the first floor. Visitors can also gape at classic Chinese paintings, pottery, porcelain, copperware and even embroidery, many of which date back to ancient times
