The Hunan Museum is the provincial museum of Hunan Province. It is mainly famous for the Mawangdui Han Tombs. There are many exquisite works of art in the museum, with a rich history, worth taking a closer look. Main Text 1. Tickets🔶 Tickets for the Hunan Museum need to be booked in advance. You can book them on the official WeChat public account, which is convenient and quick. Please note that special exhibitions require separate tickets. Opening hours: 9:00-17:00, last entry at 16:00, closed on Mondays. 2. Tour🔷 After going through the ticket checking and security check procedures, you officially enter the "minus first floor" of the museum. You'll understand when you go there, haha. The museum is built in the style of the Mawangdui Han Tombs, and the famous Lady Xin Zhui is on the first floor. The second and third floors mainly house Hunan history and culture exhibitions and Mawangdui Han Tombs themed exhibitions. Famous cultural relics include the Human-faced Square Ding and the Gauze Clothing. You still need to visit the site or check the official website to see the specific exhibitions and learn about the outstanding people and beautiful land of Sanxiang. There is a rest area for visitors on the top floor, with dining and cultural and creative products. I had grilled sausage and hot dry noodles there, which were okay. When I left, I ordered a cup of Chayan Yuese, but due to miscommunication, I got a cup of iced latte. It was a confusing order. 3. Precautions❗️ 1. Hot water is available inside, and paper cups are provided free of charge. However, you cannot carry paper cups filled with water up and down the stairs or into the exhibition halls. Also, drinks like milk tea purchased from the food court on the top floor seem to have to be consumed on-site and cannot be taken downstairs. Staff will remind you of this. 2. There are vendors selling cultural and creative products near the museum. Be cautious when buying from them, as their purchase price is fixed, but the selling price is not. Don't be ripped off. Of course, if you really like something, it doesn't matter. 3. The museum offers volunteer guides. You can inquire with the staff. When I went to see the lightest silk garment, I listened to the explanation given by a private guide hired by a nearby tourist. It was professional and interesting, in stark contrast to a past group of bustling tourists whose guide simply said, "Ah, this is the lightest in the world..." 4. There is also a Mawangdui Han Tombs site in Changsha, next to the hospital. There is basically nothing left inside, except for Tomb No. 3. Tombs No. 1 and No. 2 have been backfilled, and most of the artifacts are in the Hunan Museum. Unless you're passing by, I don't recommend going there. I went there specifically, following the navigation. The left side is a residential area, and the right side is the hospital. There is a small path to get there, which is actually inside the hospital. The navigation specifically found a route. PS: I went to Yuelu Mountain in the morning. Because I was too tired, I chose to take the bus up. I bought a round-trip ticket, but actually walked down the mountain. This round-trip ticket is actually a discount trap, so be careful. Also, the scenery of Yuelu Mountain is among the mountains, so don't just take the bus over a mountain.

Yuelu Academy: CNY 40/person. The natural scenery of Yuelu Academy and Aiwan Pavilion is not to be missed. They are treasures of ancient culture. 2. Orange Isle: The core attraction is the art sculpture of young Mao Zedong. The light is good and there are fewer people from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm, so the photos are better. 3. Hunan Museum: The plain gauze garment unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb is the treasure of the museum. Book tickets in advance to avoid queuing or being full. 4. Li Zijian Art Museum: Free admission, but reservations are required in advance. Li Zijian Art Museum has several visiting areas, including Area A, Area B, Area C, Tranquil Island, and Spiritual Space. 5. Wuyi Square: Take the elevator directly to the 7th floor and take a photo with the Kaws statue. The night market at the South Gate is a paradise for shopping and food, and Wenheyou is a great place to take photos. Tips: 1. The museum is closed on Mondays! Tickets for the Orange Isle train can be purchased online. 2. Choose a clean background for photos, and wear light-colored clothes for a more advanced look. 3. To learn more about history and culture, you can hire a professional guide.

🌼🌺💐 The Mawangdui Han Tombs in Changsha are one of the most important archaeological discoveries of the 20th century. Stroll among the relics and feel the multidimensional cosmology and strong sense of life of the time. The tombs are well-preserved and contain a wealth of burial objects, including more than 700 exquisite lacquerware items, more than 500 silk garments, more than 50 "encyclopedic" bamboo and wooden slips, and the mysterious and fantastical painted silk coffin of Lady Xin Zhui. The tombs contain the Han Dynasty's fantasies of ascension and desire for immortality, and are a miracle of human embalming technology... The Mawangdui Han Tombs give us a glimpse of society 2,200 years ago and are a benchmark of early Han history and civilization. 🌼🌷🌻

Electronic ID cards are a hassle to process, and one of our friends ended up giving up on entering the museum. Mawangdui is much more vivid with a guide. You can't make loud noises in the museum, so tour guides now give each person a headset. If you want to listen in on a tour, you have to stand next to the guide, which is a bit difficult... Mawangdui is actually enough to visit once at the Hunan Museum. If you're not an archaeology enthusiast, there's no need to visit the Mawangdui tomb pit. The Hunan Museum was founded in the Qing Dynasty during the reign of Emperor Guangxu, and the current location is a new site. The museum is so popular because of the three-story Mawangdui Exhibition Hall (from the third floor to the first floor). The Mawangdui Han Tombs are rated as one of the world's top ten ancient tomb treasures, with the world's most famous "plain gauze robe," "T-shaped silk painting," and one of the tomb owners, "Lady Xin Zhui," herself. There are also beautiful lacquerware, Han wooden figurines comparable to the Terracotta Warriors, silk books proving that Laozi's Tao Te Ching was originally the De Ching, exquisite Hunan embroidery, a magnificent inner coffin, and more. From the third floor to the first floor, the three floors of exhibition rooms make you marvel at the profoundness of our ancient culture, the intelligence and wisdom of our ancestors, and the advanced social productivity. It's like the first time you see the Sanxingdui exhibition, or the first time you see the treasures of the Famen Temple Museum. So, starting from Mawangdui, why not embark on a journey of Chinese wisdom?

In the Ceramic Museum of the East Pavilion of the Shanghai Museum, in addition to the blue and white porcelain of the Song and Yuan Dynasties, what impressed me the most was the Changsha Kiln of the Tang Dynasty. Although it is not as famous as the Tang Sancai, these poetry and text pots can feel the romance of Changsha people more than a thousand years ago. Changsha Kiln began in the early Tang Dynasty, flourished in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and declined in the Five Dynasties. It has a history of more than a thousand years. It is the most important folk kiln in the Tang Dynasty. The uniqueness of Changsha Kiln lies in the fact that these unearthed porcelain pieces are written with poems. The content of the poems mostly reflects the life scenes and thoughts and feelings of the people in the market at that time. The language is simple and the feelings are sincere. "One thousand miles away, there is no time to come; there are thirty days in the month, and there is no night without thinking." "Birds are far and near to the flat wasteland, and people follow the water from east to west. White clouds are thousands of miles away, and the bright moon is in front of the stream." "Next year, welcome to the year, the new sky meets the old sky, the first and sixteen years, Changqing one thousand years." "Jun was born before I was born, and I was born when Jun was old." These Changsha Kiln poetry and text pots were widely used in the inns and post stations of the Tang Dynasty, providing travelers with a little warmth of homesickness. One thousand miles away, there is no time to come, one thousand miles away, see you again in the twilight years.
