China's Millennium Monument

The Chinese Millennium Monument was built in 2000 to celebrate the new millennium. It is located next to the Military Museum, the central television complex and the picturesque Yuyuantanyi Park. The monument covers an area of 4.5 hectares.

It is a grandiose structure built in the spirit of traditional Chinese architecture with modern architectural trends. It is not only an eternal memory reminiscent of the turn of the millennium, but also a place for cultural, artistic and scientific events.

Now the monument is a museum of modern art, which hosts various art exhibitions. For example, the largest portrait of Sun Yat-sen was exhibited here with a height of more than 6 meters and a width of more than 5 meters.
