Nanjing Museum

You simply can't see everything in the museum!! Do your research beforehand!! 📝 I've been to many museums, and I thought the Nanjing Museum would be like many others, where you could finish in two hours 😅 But I only managed to see two exhibition halls in two hours, so I have to come back again! Having learned this the hard way, I must warn you: ⚠️Super Useful TIPS: 1️⃣ Tickets are extremely difficult to obtain! 1. Book 7 days in advance via the official WeChat account ⏰ 2️⃣ Children under 14 years old 👶 must have a parent book a parent-child ticket; maximum 1 child can bring 3 children. 3️⃣ Bring some snacks; there's a restaurant inside. You can easily spend a whole day there. 📍Address: No. 321, Zhongshan East Road, Xuanwu District, Nanjing ⏰Opening Hours: Weekdays 09:00-17:00 (Last entry at 16:00) Weekends with some hours extended to 20:00! 🌟Recommended Itinerary: 💯Leisurely Route: History Museum → Special Exhibition Hall → Digital Museum → Republic of China Museum → Art Museum → Intangible Cultural Heritage Museum (The B1 level of the Republic of China Museum is perfect for taking photos! 📸) ⏱️Busy Route: History Museum → Special Exhibition Hall → Republic of China Museum (Guided tour: 60 RMB/person, great value!) 📌Hidden Activities: · The digital gallery's high-tech interactive installations are super fun! 🤖 The special exhibition hall often features limited-time exhibitions. ✨ The Republic of China Pavilion offers qipao rentals for amazing photo opportunities. 👗 I recommend wearing comfortable shoes 👟 and bringing a power bank 🔋. You'll definitely have tired legs from walking around!

Nanjing Museum

If you're a history and culture enthusiast, the Nanjing Museum (南京博物院) is not merely a sight to see—it is an essential journey through time during your visit to China. From the moment you arrive, the museum’s main structure makes a grand statement with its glazed tiles and traditional palace-style architecture, fitting for one of the nation’s top three museums. What I love most is the sheer scale and diversity of the exhibition halls. Don't just stick to the main historical section! Spend time wandering through the Historical Exhibition Hall to marvel at national treasures from the prehistoric era up to the Qing Dynasty—exquisitely crafted bronze ritual vessels, intricately carved jade pieces, and pottery dating back thousands of years. Every artifact narrates a compelling story of dynastic rise and fall. One area you absolutely cannot miss is the Republican-era Street, a unique feature rarely seen in museums. They’ve recreated a bustling street scene from Nanjing during the 1920s and 1930s, complete with old shops, cinemas, and period architecture. Stepping inside feels like walking onto a historical movie set—it’s an incredibly fun and photogenic part of the visit. The Nanjing Museum is also a sanctuary for art lovers. Be sure to check out the Art Exhibition Hall for its magnificent collection of traditional Chinese paintings and calligraphy, showcasing the evolution of artistic styles throughout the ages. Travel Tip: This museum is vast, so plan to spend at least half a day and prioritize the sections you wish to explore to avoid museum fatigue. It truly is a rewarding trip that offers profound insight into the cultural heart of China.#awesomepic #nanjing
