China Millennium Monument Maps

China Millennium Monument is a grand structure ingeniously combining the spirit of traditional Chinese culture with modern architectural art, and integrating architecture, landscaping, sculpture, mural painting and various other art forms. As China' s symbolic and commemorative building to welcome the Year 2000 and a gift for the world of the 21st century from the Chinese people, it serves as a centre for cultural, artistic, and scientific exhibitions both at home and abroad, as well as an inspiration in patriotism.

This building stands along a north-south axis between the Military Museum and the Central Television Complex, with the scenic Yuyuantan Park to the north and the West Beijing Railway Terminus to the south, occupying an area of 4.5 hectares and a total floor space of about 42,000 square metres. With its oriental cultural overtones and contemporary architectural art, it promotes the national spirit by embodying an original style, displaying a modern aestheticism, and expressing hopes of the future. It consists of the main building, the World Art Museum, the Holy Fire Square and the Bronze Thoroughfare.
