[2025 Hangzhou Attraction] Travel Guide for Lin'an Museum (Updated Apr)

Spring in Lin'an is full of greenery, making it perfect for a spring outing. This time, I visited an exhibition in Lin'an, and the architecture itself is quite distinctive, designed by architect Wang Shu. The entrance, combined with the lush green mountains and waters behind it, gives off a particularly peaceful and natural vibe. Inside the exhibition hall, there are many outstanding art pieces, and you can also see the historical development of Lin'an. After touring the museum, there are souvenir shops selling porcelain items—cute, beautiful, and with great commemorative value! Lin'an Museum is located at 800 Tianmu Road, Lin'an District, Hangzhou. #discoverchina #hangzhou

Everyone, big shock! In the crowded Hangzhou travel circle, there is actually a beautiful ancient village hidden away in seclusion! While other tourist attractions are crowded, here the black slate roofs are arranged in an orderly manner, the bluestone roads are winding, the old houses in the mountain village are silent over the years, and chickens and ducks are strolling happily in the yard. There are no bustling tourists and no trace of commercial atmosphere. It is like a peach garden forgotten by time. It is Zhuchuan Village in Lin'an! Without further ado, here is my two-day and one-night itinerary for you 👇🏻 Day 1️⃣: Go to Lin’an Museum in the morning and immerse yourself in the unique charm of the master’s design. Just strike a pose and the photos you take will amaze your friends. If you are extremely lucky, you may even come across a super popular internet celebrity tree, but its "peak beauty" will only last for a limited time, so it all depends on fate. In the afternoon, we drove along the Western Zhejiang Sky Road. As a part of the Anhui-Zhejiang Sky Road, the air here is moist and fresh, and the mountains are shrouded in clouds and mist, like a fairyland. In early winter, the mountains and fields are colorful, as if a color palette has been overturned. The point is, it is not difficult to drive, and even novice drivers can handle it easily! Check in to Hangzhou Lin'an Xingquan Valley Resort at night and start a relaxing vacation. Day 2️⃣: Sleep in at Xingquan Valley Resort, enjoy breakfast, then set off for Heqiao Ancient Town and return after shopping. Here is a detailed introduction to the treasure place to check in 🎈 ✔️Lin’an Museum: A building with a strong sense of design, any photo taken of it is an art blockbuster. Whether you can be in the same frame with the internet celebrity tree depends on whether you have a connection with it! ✔️Western Zhejiang Sky Road: The scenery along the way is picturesque, with moist air, lingering clouds, and colorful mountains and forests. The visual enjoyment is maximized and the driving experience is perfect! ✔️Zhuchuan Village: A "treasure village" on the Western Zhejiang Sky Road, it has a history of more than 300 years. The slate houses and the autumn sun-drying scene are a Zhejiang version of "Xiaohuangling". If you want to take beautiful pictures, hiking trails are the best choice. ✔️Heqiao Ancient Town: This thousand-year-old ancient town is low-key and charming. The eight-character wooden bridge spans the stream, the Hui-style buildings are simple and elegant, and there are barber shops, barrel hooping shops, and convenience stores, all of which are full of childhood memories. 🏨 Choose Hangzhou Lin'an Xingquan Valley Resort for accommodation. The cave hot springs here are extremely beautiful. There are rose petal pools, milk pools, ginger pools and other pools hidden in the mountains and forests. You can choose whichever one you want. The mountain view suite I stayed in was built against the mountain. Not only was the room spacious, it also had a large terrace and an outdoor private hot spring bathing pool, so I could enjoy the beautiful mountain view without leaving the house. The resort has private parking spaces, so if you don't want to drive, a shuttle bus is always available. Families with children can easily take their kids out for a walk. The Cute Pet Park and Cool Play City allow children to have a lot of fun and they don’t want to leave once they come. 🍴In terms of food, the Chinese restaurant and buffet at Xingquan Valley Resort have high-end decoration, rich dishes, and excellent taste. When you arrive at Heqiao Ancient Town, you must try the local specialty "Heqiao Taguo". It is so big that a girl can't finish it all by herself. If you are tired of the crowded popular attractions and want to find a quiet and fun place to relax, then drive to Lin'an Museum and go on a treasure trove tour at any time! I sincerely hope that this treasure land can always maintain its tranquility, but I also want more people to know its beauty. Am I too greedy?🤣

Lin'an Museum is located on Tianmu Road, Jincheng Street, Lin'an District, Hangzhou City, with Gongchen Mountain behind it. It is a comprehensive museum integrating artistic architecture, cultural specialties, small wetland ecology and natural scenery. It serves as both a special exhibition and research center for the culture of the Wu Yue Kingdom. It was completed and opened on January 28, 2019. The museum has 5,000 pieces (sets) of cultural relics. Among them, there are 51 first-class cultural relics, 52 second-class cultural relics, and 304 third-class cultural relics. These cultural relics are well preserved in series and variety, reflecting the historical context from the Paleolithic Age to modern times. Lin'an Museum is a solid material carrier of Lin'an's profound cultural history. It is not only a window reflecting Lin'an's historical changes and development, but also Lin'an's city living room. It will echo with the surrounding historical and cultural relics such as the Meritorious Officials Tower and the Poliu Well to create the Wu Yue Historical and Cultural Park. The visit lasts about an hour and a half.

Secret color porcelain is as clear as ice and as warm as jade. It is the pinnacle of celadon from the Yue Kiln, and was mostly used for tribute and by the royal family. Lu Guimeng was the first to write a poem about it: "In the ninth autumn, the Yue Kiln opens in the wind and dew, and the color of a thousand peaks is captured." Secret color porcelain is a fine celadon from the Yue Kiln, fired in porcelain saggars under reducing conditions. Only celadon from the Yue Kiln that meets three conditions can be called secret color porcelain. It is usually fired by an official kiln; used by the Wuyue royal family or for tribute; and of high quality, with beautiful shapes and glaze. Secret color porcelain is the epitome of celadon, and is named for being offered to the imperial court. Xu Yin wrote a poem about it: "Skillfully cut like the bright moon dyed in spring water, lightly spun like thin ice holding green clouds." The brown cloud-patterned oil lamp, lidded jar, and incense burner unearthed from the tomb of the Shuiqiu family are three important pieces, and are the epitome of late Tang secret color painted porcelain. They are also the treasures of the Wuyue Culture Museum. To meet the needs of tribute and foreign exchanges, the Wuyue Kingdom set up official kilns in the central production area of the Yue Kiln. Cixi Shanglin Lake and the area in front of the Shangyu Kiln Temple were the core production areas of the Tang and Song Yue Kiln. The provincial porcelain kiln office at Shanglin Lake not only had a yamen called the "Shisi", but also low-level kiln officials. "After the brocade robes were given to the meritorious officials, they went to Longshan to drink." The color of a thousand peaks is filled with the sophistication of royal life, the joy of a hall full of flowers, and the nostalgia for home and country. A feast of elegance, a sea of green, and all the spring of Jiangnan.

When I saw the building exterior from the car, I thought it looked very familiar. I checked and found out that these two places were designed by the same designer. Went to the exhibition Wow! I really want to know the person who wrote the text for the exhibition. It's really great, so relevant and in-depth. And although there are fewer cultural relics overall, But the content is very rich, the exhibition design is very thoughtful Although the utilization rate of the exhibition hall is low at present, it is still being developed and utilized. In addition, there is a mountain called Gongchen Mountain where the museum is located, which is worth climbing. The park is full of greenery.

In 1940, Zhang Tianfang embarked on the discovery journey of Tianmu Porcelain Kiln. The main firing methods of Tianmu Kiln products are box-bowl firing and open-fire stacking. The firing kiln has box bowls, support rings, support nails, cushion cakes, strip-shaped cushion rings, simple-shaped cushion rings, pillars, etc. Celadon bowls, plates, etc. use the method of scraping glaze on the inner bottom and stacking sand grains in open fire. Basins, stoves, boxes and other high-quality requirements generally use the combination of pillars, cushion rings, and support nails for stacking. In order to make full use of the space in the kiln, all kinds of utensils are stacked and fired. One or two pieces of black glazed porcelain are placed on the top of the stacked celadon bowls, and a celadon plate is covered to form a bowl-shaped box-bowl for kiln firing. This is a unique firing method of Tianmu Kiln, and the product quality is relatively high.

Lin'an has been a county for more than 2,000 years, and it is the birthplace and final resting place of Qian Liu, the founder of the Wuyue Kingdom during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. 900 years ago, Lin'an gave birth to the earliest complete record of men farming and women weaving in China--the 'Gengzhi Tu', which is hailed as the 'world's first agricultural science popularization picture book'. At the foot of Gongchen Mountain and by the Jinxi River, the Lin'an Art Museum designed by Wang Shu has opened. The first exhibition 'Clouds Rise on the Path' is a gathering to jointly depict the beauty of spirituality, and it is also a display of the perfect integration of cultural confidence and the spirit of the times. Based in Lin'an, appreciate the extraordinary charm of watercolor paintings and embark on a journey of poetic and picturesque literary exploration.

Tianmu Mountain people used mud and fire to compose a 'Song of Porcelain Rhyme', which spread far and wide with the name of Japanese monks seeking the Dao. During the Song and Yuan dynasties, there were many Buddhist temples in Tianmu Mountain, Zhejiang. High monks such as Yuanmiao, Mingben, and Liaoyi emerged one after another, making Tianmu Mountain a holy land of the Linji Sect. Many Japanese monks came to Tianmu Mountain to worship and seek the Dharma. When they returned to Japan, they brought back the black glaze bowls used for tea ceremonies in the Zen forest. Since then, 'Tianmu' has become the general term for black glaze tea bowls introduced from China to Japan. Lin'an Museum
