Guyuan Museum on the Silk Road

✔️Ningxia is niche, Guyuan is also niche, and Guyuan Museum is even more niche. This four-cornered pagoda-style imitation Tang structure building standing in the city center is a solid national first-class museum. 🌟Special highlights: Guyuan has been a transportation hub and strategic location from the Central Plains to the Hexi Corridor, and the north and south of the desert since ancient times.
