This museum is an interesting step back in time. There are several rooms of displays and write-ups explaining the opium trade and growing and production of opium for sale. Many display cases with paraphernalia, pipes, weights, etc.

What not to dabble with is shown here. But the displays of narcotics are well dine.

While this is not a fancy museum, it is laid out nicely with lots of good insights into the opium trade. Small, you can do it in under 30 minutes.
