Taiyuan | Shanxi Museum

Visiting the museum requires an advance reservation, especially during holidays, when it's really crowded. However, during the holidays, the Shanxi Museum sometimes arranges for visitors to queue up after 4 pm, and there are a lot of people waiting in line, taking about half an hour to get in. The Shanxi Museum is one of the first batch of national first-class museums, a national museum cultivation object jointly built by the central and local governments, and the largest center in Shanxi for the collection, preservation, protection, research, and exhibition of cultural relics. Representative exhibits include the Marquis of Jin's bird zun, the Houma Covenant, Hu Fu's wine vessel, the animal-shaped goblet, the Meidigou painted pottery jar, the painted goose and fish bronze lamp, the bronze chariot for the footless man guarding the park, the stone sarcophagus from Yu Hong's tomb, and the six-piece jade pendant string. The museum is well planned, with a clear and detailed visiting route, and a rich variety of cultural and creative products. There are a lot of people stamping their visit.
