# Hunan Provincial Museum

As a national first-class museum, how can you not visit Hunan Provincial Museum when you come to Changsha? However, because the Mawangdui Han Tomb cultural relics are displayed in the Provincial Museum, tickets are very difficult to grab. Due to lack of experience, I originally wanted to grab tickets for the 24th, but when I woke up on the morning of the 18th, the tickets were already gone. We have learned from experience and stayed at the article at 1 a.m. on the 19th to wait for the invoice to be issued, which can be regarded as a steal...

There were many people queuing up at the entrance of the Provincial Expo, and most of them came with their children. Some people didn't get tickets and tried to get through, but they were all stopped, which shows how popular it is.

The provincial museum is very large. Because the structure of the Mawangdui Han Tomb has been restored, the three floors are connected. The ancient tomb runs through the three floors. The tour should start from the third floor. But we don’t take the usual path. We always go against others in the museum, entering through the exit and exiting through the entrance (*/ω\*)

There are many cultural relics unearthed from the Mawangdui Han Tomb. I originally planned to visit the provincial expo in three hours, but later I found that three hours was just a quick glance. If you want to take a closer look, you will have to spend at least a day and come several times. I have gone to several museums. In addition to the Forbidden City and the Nanbo Museum, the Hunan Provincial Museum is the third one that amazed me.

Here I saw the plain gauze Zen clothes in the history books (really too thin!!! I once again lamented the exquisite skills of the ancients), and also saw the body of Mrs. Xin Zhui. The remains are displayed on the ground floor, and visitors can view them on the first floor. Since we entered through the exit first, we saw the remains at the beginning of our trip to the provincial expo, and then we saw them again in sequence. It was really... quite magical.

The third floor is dedicated to displaying the cultural relics unearthed from Mawangdui. In addition to the ancient tombs that run through it, the second floor also has a special topic of "Hunanese", which displays the square tripod with the Dahe people's face pattern and the folded Shang Dynasty pig Xing Bronze Zun (I can’t remember, it’s from Baidu), although I shouldn’t say this, but Fang Ding is really cute hahahaha.

I bought a keychain, a refrigerator magnet, and a museum passport at the Provincial Expo Hall. I will slowly check in and visit all the museums in China!


# Changsha Museum

Because the provincial expo was delayed for a long time, and I went to the mall to check in at a store on the way, it was already past three o'clock when I arrived at the Changsha Museum. I didn’t expect that even if I had to queue up for the Hunan Provincial Museum, the queue for the Changsha Museum was also very long! Without any obstruction, the queue finally came in after waiting in line for a long time.

Changsha Museum is much smaller. There are two floors in total and there are quite a few exhibition halls. The exhibition hall on the second floor is mainly devoted to revolutionary cultural relics. After strolling there for more than an hour, it felt like reliving the revolutionary years of that year. I didn’t know before that many famous revolutionary martyrs were from Changsha.

I originally thought that there were only exhibition halls on the second floor, so I walked around slowly for more than an hour, and the museum closed in more than half an hour. When I came down, I discovered that there were two more exhibition halls that were missing. After a quick tour, I felt like I hadn’t seen anything yet.

When I was visiting the last exhibition hall, there was a Chinese culture fun park. I saw several children stamping stamps (the kind with printers), so I shamelessly took out a tissue and stamped four stamps.

Suofen Street

Of course, you also need to check in at the internet celebrity wall in Suofen Street.

After returning from the Changsha Museum, I went straight to the Internet celebrity wall, but there were already many people queuing up. Fortunately, neither of us is obsessed with taking pictures. After queuing for a day, we really don’t want to continue anymore...

God knows how long I waited for this photo without anyone to take it. There were so many people!
