"Zhangzhou Maritime Silk Road: An XR Immersive Experience" builds upon the Zhangzhou Museum's permanent exhibition "Blue Seas and Cloud Sails: Zhangzhou and the Maritime Silk Road," using extended reality technology to reshape the journey of marine cultural exploration. Through virtual reality, the experience recreates the bustling scene of Ming Dynasty's Yue Port where "merchants gathered like spokes on a wheel." Visitors can become crew members or archaeologists, closely observing salvaged artifacts and participating in underwater archaeology through interactive segments like "Exploring the Yuan Dynasty Shipwreck at Shengbei Isle." The exhibition not only showcases high-definition underwater panoramas stitched together from tens of thousands of site photos but also narrates the Maritime Silk Road stories behind precious artifacts like celadon-glazed jars. This innovative blend of technology and humanities allows visitors to touch the millennium-old pulse of Zhangzhou as a vital node on the Maritime Silk Road, experiencing the profound heritage of Minnan culture and the open spirit of maritime civilization through the interplay of virtual and real worlds.

The archaeological discovery of the Marquis of Haihun's tomb in 2011 astonished the world. The sheer quantity and exquisite craftsmanship of its burial artifacts represent the pinnacle of material civilization during the Western Han Dynasty.

The tomb yielded over 10,000 artifacts, including gold and jade items, chariots, and horse trappings, setting multiple archaeological records while offering both historical value and visual impact. As Fujian Museum's annual blockbuster special exhibition, this showcase not only presents a concentrated display of cultural relics but also serves as an immersive dissemination of the "Golden Age of Emperor Wu of Han" culture.
