Perhaps for the travel of Hangzhou, most tourists first think of the landscape style here, but in fact, as an ancient city, Hangzhou can still see a lot of ancient relics, especially those hidden in the museum is to show the charm of the ancient city of Hangzhou.
There are many museums in Hangzhou, including the Zhejiang Bohe Hangzhou Museum that reflects the history of Hangzhou and even Zhejiang, the Tea Museum and the Silk Museum that display Hangzhou's specialties, and of course, the World Heritage Grand Canal Museum, etc. It is not too much to call it the City of Culture and Expo.
However, among the many museums, the heaviest weight is these 7 national first-class museums, namely Zhejiang Provincial Museum, Hangzhou Museum, China Silk Museum, Hangzhou Arts and Crafts Museum, Hangzhou West Lake Museum, Zhejiang Natural History Museum, and Hangzhou Tea Museum.
Based on the number of collections and personal favorites, the following Ma and will recommend the two museums with the largest tourist attractions to share with you for your travel reference in Hangzhou.
Tower 1: Zhejiang Provincial Museum - The top museum in Zhejiang
This is the best museum in Zhejiang Province, after all, the top cultural relics of various cities are basically stored here. The scale of the collection of more than 100,000 pieces is not among the best in the provincial capital museum, but with many characteristic cultural relics, Zhejiang Bo does not look so bleak.
In the Wulinguan area you can see the Northern Song Dynasty Guanyin statue that fills the gap in China's early painted sculptures, this batch of Northern Song Painted Statues comes from the Wenzhou White Statue Pagoda, it can be said that the white statues of the White Statue Pagoda are not only numerous, but also extremely exquisite, which can be called the most exquisite craftsmanship in the Northern Song Dynasty.
The many jade artifacts unearthed in Liangzhu are not only numerous, but also exquisite in craftsmanship, showing us the crafts created by the wisdom of the ancestors 4-5,000 years ago, especially the jade king, which shows the custom of worshiping jade in China since ancient times.
Although the gold leaf appliqué palanquin is a cultural relic of the Qing Dynasty, compared with many more ancient cultural relics, its age is not long ago, but through the three processes of circular carving, relief carving, and through carving, 250 figures and flowers, insects, birds and beasts have been carved.
It shows many internal opera scenes such as "Tianshui Guan" and "Iron Bow Edge", and such exquisite craftsmanship makes it jump out of more than 100,000 exhibits and become one of the star exhibits.
Other must-see cultural relics of Zhejiang Provincial Museum:
Model of the Bronze House of the Warring States Trick Music, The Sword of the Warring States Yue King, the Celadon Boat Shaped YanDi of the Yuanlongquan Kiln, the Seven Strings of the Tang Dynasty "Cai Feng Mingqi", the First Guqin of China, and the Ashoka Pagoda in the Gushan Pavilion Area.
Block 2: Hangzhou Museum - a niche but not simple municipal museum
This museum is located next to the popular Hefang Street, which is much quieter than the bustle of Hefang Street, but this does not affect my love for it.
The collection of only more than 10,000 pieces in the Hangzhou Museum is not outstanding, but many cultural relics also show us the cultural heritage of the ancient city of Hangzhou. This Warring States Crystal Cup can be said to be the only one in the world, and its value is not inferior to the top national treasures such as houmu Peng Dafangding.
Zhaoqing Temple, which was once full of incense in Hangzhou, can be described as a wind and fire in history, unfortunately, it was destroyed by fire during the Republic of China, but fortunately many cultural relics have been preserved, especially the four fairy child candlesticks have become the most exquisite relics among them.
These fairy child candlesticks, exquisite shapes, different shapes, open faces present the realistic style of Song Dynasty statues, rounded stomachs but interpret the characteristics of Ming Dynasty statues, so many styles of statues have also become one of the top cultural relics in Hangzhou.
Other must-see cultural relics of Hangzhou Museum:
Zhaoqing Temple fairy child candlestick, exquisite Jingdezhen kiln blue and white porcelain sculpture Hai'ao Shanzi pen holder, known as China's largest coin - "Daming Pass" treasure banknote, Spring kiln pink blue glaze Yao and so on.
In addition, there are also many attractions in other first-class museums in Hangzhou, such as the Top Costumes and Cultural Relics that can be seen in the China Silk Museum - warring states to dragons and wind pattern brocade and northern dynasty period hanging silk clothes; for example, in the China Tea Museum, you can see Tang white glaze tea boiling tea mills and Southern Dynasty blue glaze point brown color bowls.
