Cose da fare a Quwo

晋国古都博物馆：位于山西省侯马市府西路晋博园内，是一座集中展示晋国新田文化的专题性博物馆。馆内分两大部分，设四个展厅，展出各类文物近500件。

虽然是位于街边的一座牌坊，现在还在行使着过街的作用，但是它可是一个重点文物，很多喜欢文物的人会特意过来拍上一组照片，而据在当地的人，看到这个情况，会很好奇，这有什么可拍的，这就是旅游的本质吧。

有些景点再也不会恢复到它往日的宁静了，比如分成古建筑群，这里过去是那么的安静，而且不对外开放，现在虽然对外开放了，但是总会出现各种各样的人流，据有些人说，现在已经拦上了大门，可能未来将要收费了。

Other museum only show 1 dynasty or 1 culture, this museum shows 13 dynasty. Perfect for culture lover. Tour guide is a must, they will make the trip more meaningful.

很漂亮，很多好看的花，超级适合来这个拍照，看到好多带摄影师的小姐姐，吹吹河风，看到还有坐船的，太美了，今天刚好端午，天气也超好，微风不燥！还有好多体验的小游戏，和自主文创，推荐！

I recommend trying coffee with a donut and buying a lavender lamb

We couldn't book the more famous Shaanxi Museum tickets so we turned to Xi'an Museum instead, but my oh my if it was a lovely surprise 🫢🫢 This place has so many cute and historical exhibition bits, with in-depth and comprehensive story about the long long long history of Xi'an since pre-histiric era up until now. There was also a full map of the inner city wall in Silk Road era that you can still find some places are reserved nowadays! And we see the proof that ancient Tang women were chubby and proud! 😁😁 It's also worth mentioning that the museum provides a guide who's VERY fluent in English to take you around the exhibition (at least ours was super nice and lovely 😍), the fee is decent as well, I remember it was only around 300 CNY, so if you have more than 1 person coming with you the fee can be distributed and comes cheaper individually. Highly highly recommended!

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Luoyang was once the capital of 13 dynasties, and the wealth of artifacts unearthed from the city is immense. The Luoyang Museum alone houses nearly 200,000 relics. On my final day in Luoyang, I chose to visit this institution. Admission is free, but I was taken aback by the long queue at the entrance when I arrived at 8:30 a.m. Fortunately, even without registering through the online app, I was allowed entry by presenting my passport.The museum is organized into eight galleries:Heluo Civilization GalleryTreasure GalleryTang Sancai GalleryCeramics GalleryCalligraphy & Painting GalleryStone Carving GalleryFolk Art GalleryBronze GalleryChinese bronzes are particularly distinctive. Unlike Europe’s utilitarian bronzes, those in China were primarily ceremonial, used in ancestral rites. Monumental vessels such as the 司母戊鼎 (Si Mu Wu Fang Ding) weigh over 800 kg — unmatched anywhere else. Bronze culture endured in China far longer than in other regions, deeply shaping later dynasties. This is why museums like Henan and Luoyang emphasize bronzes as cultural treasures rather than mere technological artifacts.It is an eye opening trip seeing the artifacts excavated from the 13 dynasties.

Nice museum. Very easy to get around. A lot of artifacts and they have special exhibits ok the ground floor. Was unfortunate to visit the museum on a very busy day. So it was quite packed

Henan is the cradle of Chinese civilization. Known as the Central Plains (中原), it is where the earliest dynasties, writing systems, bronze technology, and organized states first emerged. The fertile soil of the Yellow River nurtured farming communities as early as 5000 BCE, laying the foundation for Chinese culture.Luoyang, in Henan, is historically celebrated as the Ancient Capital of Thirteen Dynasties (十三朝古都), while Kaifeng (开封) is recognized as the Ancient Capital of Six Dynasties (六朝古都). Luoyang’s White Horse Temple (白马寺) is revered as the birthplace of Chinese Buddhism, and the Longmen Grottoes (龙门石窟) — with over 100,000 Buddhist statues — are honored as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Kaifeng, meanwhile, was the world’s largest city during the Northern Song dynasty, a thriving metropolis of commerce and culture.Henan as a whole is culturally dense and historically profound. The Henan Museum located at Zhengzhou is a must-visit, serving as a microcosm of Chinese civilization across thousands of years.I visited Henan Museum on a weekday and was struck by the sheer size of the crowd. Admission is free, but locals must register in advance. As a foreigner, I simply presented my passport, wrote my name in the register, and was then free to explore.The Henan Provincial Museum features one main permanent exhibition, Ancient Civilization of the Central Plains, divided into eight chronological galleries, alongside four themed galleries — Bronze of Chu, Ancient Jade, Treasures of Ming & Qing, and Musical Instruments. Each gallery highlights a different facet of Henan’s role as the cradle of Chinese civilization.I was deeply impressed by the exquisite porcelain, bronze bells and ritual vessels, the earliest pottery, oracle bones and early writing, Buddhist sculptures, and funerary art. My visit lasted about 3 hours enough to take in all the galleries and appreciate Henan’s extraordinary legacy.Article published at TripAdvisor on 20 Sep 26
