Hall Of Innovation

Nothing is comparable with the use of fire except wheels in the historyof civilization.Wheels were possibly invented alongside with vehicles at about4000 years BC. Relics of wheels have been continuously discovered from Mesopotamia, Germany, Poland and Syria. The earliest wheels composed of only two pieces of wood, which were replaced, around 2000 years BC by wheels with spokes. The carts with this new kind of wheels were drawn by horses, which accelerated the speed immensely. The development of vehicles stemmed from wheels, i.e. from horse-drawn carriages to automobiles, thus history and wheels roll forward together

Exhibition of Classical Collection of Chinese Automobile Industry

In the early days of the founding of People’s Republic of China, our country introduced a series of cars from the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe to meet the needs at that time, which had also an important impact on China’s early automobile industry, and from the Red Flag, Shanghai and other home-made cars at that time we can see their traces. With the disintegration of the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, the vast majority of models have no production any more. The exhibition section displays orderly GIS, Jim, Volga, Warsaw (Victory) M20 and other Eastern European series, the Red Flag series and Shanghai series made in the early days of our country. This ardent period of times that has been recorded in the history of the Republic of China filled the blank of China’s independent production of vehicles and opened the prelude of China’s automobile industry.
