The China Court Museum explains China's court system in a historic 1910 building that once housed the Beijing branch of the Yokohama Specie Bank. That setting gives the museum more character than the subject might suggest from the outside.
It is a specialist stop, best suited to visitors with an interest in modern Chinese institutions or Republican-era architecture. Its central location makes it easy to combine with Tiananmen Square, Qianmen, or the Dashilan lanes.
