Also, a lot stands in a museum devoted to the modern period: visitors to the museum can see a model of high-tech trains thumbnails railway stations, for example: South w / train station / railway station Hongdzhao, new w / Station in Sichuan Province, Chengdu, Xi'an Wuhan.

One of the newest exhibits of the museum - a collection of vintage train tickets that were used to travel a different time. Also, there is a ticket items that are used on the island of Taiwan. Guests museum can see exactly how the tickets were during the reign of the imperial Qing Dynasty, as well as during the reign of Ming Guo Tao. One of the most interesting exhibits on display in the museum - an old printer for the production of stamps. Tickets were made of a very hard and dense, and the paper used for about 70 years. On the stamps can still clearly see the station names, dates, cost and class. The old device for printing tickets still works.
