On May 18, 2026, the 50th International Museum Day, over a hundred locomotives gathered in the Da'an Locomotive Expo Park in Da'an City, Jilin Province, showcasing China's industrial strength to the world with the majestic momentum of construction machinery.

As the world's largest steam locomotive exhibition base, 104 retired steam locomotives, diesel locomotives, and electric locomotives are lined up on the Expo Park Square, showcasing the technological leap of China's railway engineering machinery from the steam era to the electric era. Climbing onto the aerial observation platform, overlooking the magnificent momentum of the steel torrent, every locomotive is a history of engineering machinery evolution.

In the memory museum, literature, images, and physical systems present the process of China's railway from scratch and from weakness to strength. These "steel giants" that once roamed the vast snowy plains have now transformed into static industrial monuments, attracting countless tourists and study groups to visit and become popular destinations for weekend outings.
