Beijing has a Museum of Tap Water, I learned from Google Maps. And I thought Seoul’s Kimchi Museum was unusual. It isn’t the usual museum topic, of course, but as I blogged earlier, tap water is a kind of miracle.

That’s astonishing, given that when I was in China in 2002, there was apparently nowhere public in the country where you could safely drink the tap water — certainly not in the 5 cities I visited. My girlfriend and I stayed in a 5 star hotel in Shanghai where they proudly informed us that we could safely drink the tap water within the hotel. Neither of us trusted them and didn’t take them up on it.
Have things changed since then? I’m curious as to the motivation or set of assumptions behind the museum…
Your blog continues to be well worth visiting…
The Beijing museum of Tap Water is built on the original place of the first water plant in Beijing Zhongzhimen Water Plant.
This Museum is great place for visitors……….
