If your'e like me, you'll cry at least a couple of times seeing the very graphic photographs of dead children. That really tore me up. It's a very moving exhibit that everyone should see. More

As most have mentioned, this place can get crowded. I went during the National Day holiday week (aka golden week) which was a big mistake if you're traveling to China.

When I was there, herds of school kids were screaming and laughing happily, american tourists were talking eagerly about shopping and Chinese youngsters took internet disease photos of each other. What about your family getting raped and... More
