This stunning museum is worth a trip to Chongqing!

📍Address: Jianlong Town, Bishan District, Chongqing (former Bishan Porcelain Factory) 🚗Transportation: Driving is recommended, about 1 hour from the city center; or take Metro Line 1 to Bishan Station, transfer to Bus 806 to "Dayuanxiang Museum" Station. 🎫Tickets: CNY 120 for adults (including a guide), advance online reservation required. 🌟Highlights: 1. Ancient architecture: The museum is converted from an old factory and houses more than 100,000 ancient architectural components from Bashu, from Ming and Qing dynasty doors and windows, plaques to stone-carved column bases, each telling a story of time. 2. Plaque gallery: More than 3,000 old plaques are displayed in a 100-meter-long gallery, with inscriptions such as "Jinshi Di" and "De Zhong Xiang Lu" that are awe-inspiring, making it a "living dictionary" of folk plaques. 3. Stone carving: The stone lions and horses in the open-air exhibition area are lifelike, and the Shendao Stele and tomb carvings from the Qing dynasty are exquisite, as if you are walking into an open-air stone carving art museum. 4. Immersive experience: Stroll through the old factory with blue bricks and gray tiles, where light and shadow fall through the carved windows, and every photo you take is a vintage masterpiece. 📌Travel tips: ✅ Most of the museum is open-air, so it is recommended to wear a sun hat on sunny days and non-slip shoes on rainy days. ✅ The guide will reveal the folk customs behind the artifacts, and it is recommended to listen to the whole tour (about 1.5 hours). ✅ Families with children can participate in the rubbing experience (extra charge), allowing children to touch traditional culture. ✅ Nearby, you can visit the Ming and Qing dynasty post station "Laifengyi" and taste the intangible cultural heritage dish "Laifeng Fish". ✨Impressions🐘 This place is not like a traditional museum, but more like a "Bashu cultural maze" reconstructed with fragments of artifacts. Walking through it, the complexity of the wood carvings, the majesty of the stone lions, and the gilded characters on the plaques are a testament to the wisdom of the folk craftsmen. Not far from the city, but like a world away, it is a great place to slow down and feel the weight of time.
