Inner Mongolia Museum, Zhaojun Museum, Qingzhen Mosque Mongolia

Inner Mongolia Museum was founded in 1957, and it is the largest comprehensive museum in the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, as well as one of the earliest established museums in the ethnic minority regions of the country. The new museum was completed in 2007, with a total construction area of 64,200 square meters. The architecture has distinctive ethnic characteristics, and its overall shape is modern and innovative, organically integrated with the surrounding environment. Its meaning is 'On the vast grassland stands a Mongolian yurt engraved with historical rings, moving from the profound ancient times to a beautiful future.' The museum's treasures include: Warring States period gold crown ornament with an eagle top, Han dynasty bronze stove with dragon head, Liao dynasty painted wooden coffin, Liao dynasty princess gold mask, and Jun kiln 'Xiao Song Zizao' incense burner. Around the museum, there are also art galleries, art theaters, and science museums, which you can visit if you have time. Zhaojun Museum is located on the bank of the Dahei River in the southern suburbs of Hohhot, based on the tomb of Wang Zhaojun, and is an archaeological museum that integrates the collection, protection, research, display, and social education of cultural relics. The museum features 'Zhaojun Culture,' 'Xiongnu Culture,' and 'Heqin Culture,' and has permanent exhibitions such as 'Zhaojun Going Beyond the Great Wall,' 'Xiongnu Historical and Cultural Exhibition,' and 'Ancient Chinese Heqin Culture Exhibition.' Zhaojun's Tomb, also known as Qingzhong in historical documents, has been clearly recorded since the Tang Dynasty. According to research, it was artificially built and rammed during the Han Dynasty, about 33 meters high, with a base area of 13,000 square meters, and is one of the largest Han tombs in China. The Qingzhen Mosque, located in the Hui District of Hohhot, was built in the 32nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1693), and is the oldest and largest mosque in Hohhot. The Qingzhen Mosque faces east and west, and is an independent three-entry courtyard, covering an area of more than 4,000 square meters. The temple gate has three rooms, and the 'Qingzhen Mosque' plaque is hung directly above.
