The rows of flat shabby houses in the east Beijing suburb of Zhangwanfen are broken by a building that looks decidedly out of place. It's new, draws heavily on Chinese architecture and has turned the sleepy hollow into a tourist attraction.

The building is China's first private antique museum, the Guanfu Museum, and the hordes of people beating a path to its door.

Guanfu Museum also opened branches in two other cities. One in Hangzhou, the capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province, was opened in 2001, and another one in Xiamen, a city in south China's Fujian Province, in 2005.
