Museum shines a light on auto history

( chinadaily.com.cn )2015-05-06

The major exhibition hall occupies about 200 sq m, with vehicle models in different categories: trailers, fire engines, military vehicles and others. Li said that it is quite difficult to collect truck models, which are normally made in small scale as gifts and seldom sold in the market. In recent years, he regularly went abroad to search for van models in flea markets to add to his collection.

In the museum's interaction area, visitors can learn how the tower crane, pile driver, concrete pump truck and concrete mixer cooperate to build high-rises. Visitors can also operate fire engines by remote control to finish some basic tasks, such as spraying water on the target.

"I am very happy to show the collection with other auto fans - it is the fans' fascination that makes the models invaluable," Li said, adding that the museum is also a venue to spread vehicle knowledge to youngsters. More than 500 teenagers have visited the museum since it opened.

Li is planning to enlarge the main exhibition hall to 500 square meters to showcase more models.
