The China Watermelon Museum is the first museum in China dedicated to showcasing the culture of watermelons. It is located in Panggezhuang Town, Daxing District, Beijing, and stands as a signature building with distinct characteristics in the Green Sea Sweet Garden. The museum’s exterior design, themed ‘Flying Watermelon,’ features a grand central rotunda resembling a giant watermelon, with the two main exhibition hall roofs resembling watermelon leaves, like wings ready to take flight.
