Don't want to squeeze into the museum? Highly recommend coming here!

Fewer people, beautiful scenery, and even the tiles are amazing! Can't get a reservation for the Shaanxi History Museum? Finally got in, but it's more crowded than a market! If the reservation for the Shaanxi History Museum is giving you a headache, why not take an impromptu trip to the Archaeological Museum? This new internet-famous spot in 2022 has a huge area, fresh and rich exhibits, and most importantly—fewer people, giving you a full sense of having the place to yourself! Transportation Tips: Want to get there quickly? I recommend taking Metro Line 2 to Hejiaying Station, then take a taxi after exiting the station. It only costs a dozen yuan, much faster than waiting for the 738 bus that comes every half hour. Time is money! Ticket Reservation Tips: Don't worry about difficult reservations, the Archaeological Museum is very considerate, you can get in with a same-day reservation. Reservations open at 8 AM, and you can book up to 5 days in advance (including the same day). Even slowpokes can easily get in! Five Major Exhibition Halls, Continuous Excitement: First Floor - Archaeological Journey: This is not just an exhibition, but a place to touch history with your hands! Touch tiles from different dynasties and feel that heavy sense of history, it's simply too cool! Second Floor - Cultural Genealogy: Travel from the Paleolithic to the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, covering animals, plants, and anthropology. Don't forget to look for the adorable Shigushan animal statues, they are the stars here! Third and Fourth Floors - Archaeological Discoveries: Two halls filled with treasures! The epitaph of Shangguan Wan'er, Eastern Han star murals, each one is a national treasure, a feast for the eyes. Fifth Floor - Cultural Preservation Technology: This is the perfect combination of technology and art. See how ancient ceramics, bronzes, and murals are rejuvenated under the care of modern technology, especially the rare Yuan dynasty tomb murals, which are simply breathtaking! In short, the Shaanxi Archaeological Museum is definitely worth spending half a day to savor.
