Another trip to colorful Guizhou, and another chance to visit the Guizhou Provincial Museum of Ethnic Cultures. I had to share it with my friends! The Guizhou Provincial Museum of Ethnic Cultures is located in the south square of Zhucheng Square on Zunyi Road, Yingbin Avenue, Guiyang City. It is east of the Nanming River and west of Guiyang Railway Station. The museum's collection mainly consists of items from the daily lives of ethnic minorities in southwest China, especially the 17 ethnic minorities native to Guizhou (including the Miao, Bouyei, Dong, Tujia, Yi, Gelao, and Shui). The collection includes traditional clothing, silver jewelry, masks, production and daily necessities, and ancient ethnic documents and books that reflect the history and culture of various ethnic groups, as well as audio and video materials that reflect the political, economic, and cultural customs of various ethnic groups throughout history. The Guizhou Ethnic Customs Exhibition is located in the front hall on the second floor of the museum and in halls A, B, and C on the third floor. The exhibition covers an area of about 2,500 square meters and is divided into five parts: "Preface Hall," "Where We Come From," "Our Homeland," "Our Life," and "Where We Are Going." The exhibition introduces the production, life, and ethnic customs of the 18 ethnic groups native to Guizhou. It is a great place to learn about the ethnic groups native to Guizhou!

Silverware craftsmanship is one of Guizhou's national intangible cultural heritages. Many ethnic minorities in Guizhou have the custom of wearing silver ornaments. They believe that silver ornaments can bring good luck and happiness, and are also a symbol of beauty and wealth. Over thousands of years, exquisite silver craftsmanship has been formed among the people. There are many types of silver ornaments, including hairpins, silver hats, silver crowns, silver horns, silver hairpins, silver combs, silver chains, ear studs, earrings, necklaces, collar pins, belts, shawls, bracelets and various clothing pieces, silver bells, silver clothes, etc., creating a wonderful and beautiful silver flower culture. 👍Recommended visiting address: Guizhou Provincial Museum, Nanming District, Guiyang City.

I saw a new exhibition in July, which was guided by the Guizhou Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, and co-sponsored by the Guizhou Academy of Cultural and Art (Guizhou Drama Creation Center) and the Guizhou National Cultural Palace (Guizhou National Museum). "Colorful Guizhou·Mysterious Face-Guizhou Drama Mask Art Exhibition". Before I went, I was actually full of expectations, hoping to see some of the full picture of Guizhou Nuo Opera, but I found it was not as good as the permanent exhibition. A few shortcomings 1. Too small. There are probably 3 small exhibition halls on the first floor of the Guizhou Museum, but the Nuo Opera Exhibition only occupies one of them. It is conceivable that the area is not large and you can see the end at a glance. 2. Because it is small, the content is less. A showroom exhibited some masks of Nuo Opera and Di Opera, but it was sparse. 3. The depth is not enough, it is just a simple display. Except for the introduction of the characters by Cuo Taiji, most of the rest are not related. What is the difference between Nuo Opera and Di Opera, what is the development history, what is the plot of each drama, there is no explanation. After watching it, it is too weak to take pictures. suggestion 1. The development history of Nuo Opera, the development history of Di Opera, and the plot introduction of classic dramas can be sorted out. 2. Some programs can select clips for video or audio display, which can more intuitively feel the core of the drama. After all, the drama is different from painting. There should be more stage displays, lighting, sound effects, etc. Only displaying masks is really too single. 3. The story behind the drama, such as the views of the inheritors of Nuo Opera on Nuo Opera, and how to continue in the future. I hope that Guizhou's exhibition will not be limited to display, and even the logic and depth of the display are not enough. If the exhibition is just a display, the difference from online viewing is really not big, and even online information can be deeper.

Guiyang is truly a treasure city👍Make sure to save this comprehensive guide🫡Follow me for food and drinks🥂 🚄Chengdu East - Guiyang (I personally find Guiyang Station more convenient than Guiyang North Station, as it's closer to Fountain Pool and Huaguoyuan) 🏠Recommended areas: Fountain Pool (city center) or Huaguoyuan (near the White House and Twin Towers).

It's recommended to visit and take photos after the lights are on🤳. Lighting time: 19:30～24:00. The Twin Towers are right next to the White House. For photo spots, you can choose the overpass) ‼️Many Guiyang foods contain Houttuynia cordata. If you can't get used to it, be sure to tell the owner in advance ‼️Travel light, Guiyang has very few pedestrian passages, mostly slopes, overpasses, and underpasses ️‼️Although Guiyang is a summer resort, the UV rays are quite strong.
