The Central Gifts Antique Management Center was established to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China. It displays important gifts received during the diplomatic activities of the Party and state leaders.

The exterior of the Central Gifts Antique Management Center combines traditional Chinese colonnade culture with Western columnar culture, presenting a majestic and elegant appearance. The central hall adopts a traditional layout of "eight prominent columns and nine open bays", harmoniously complementing the external colonnade structure.

As you enter, a massive mural catches your eye. The mural, titled "Unity Transcends Mountains and Seas",measures 17.45 meters in length and 7.78 meters in height. It is crafted from 230,000 pieces of 128 different colors of stones, adorned with 12 kinds of raw stones from five continents. The theme is inspired by the saying, "Those with shared aspirations are not deterred by mountains and seas."

The exhibition hall has two floors. The first floor showcases representative gifts received by China, such as ceramics, glassware, metal crafts, musical instruments, and more. These gifts boast exquisite craftsmanship and designs, each with its own unique story.

The second floor displays gifts given in return during international diplomacy, organized by continent and featuring distinctive gifts from different countries. In addition to the rich exhibits, the museum offers several interactive installations, such as a human-powered tricycle with dual-screen interaction and a porcelain puppet interactive installation based on "The Adventures of Tintin: The Blue Lotus". These interactive installations provide educational and entertaining experiences, making it suitable for bringing children to enjoy the museum.
