Kaifeng Museum: Travel through history and experience cultural treasures
Kaifeng Museum: Travel through history and experience cultural treasures
The most surprising part of my trip to Kaifeng was the Kaifeng Museum. My husband had told me not to expect too much, but the moment I stepped into the museum, I was attracted by its grand and majestic architecture.
In terms of tickets, no reservation is needed. You can get a ticket by swiping your ID card at the visitor center near the entrance, which is very convenient.
In terms of transportation, it is very convenient to drive here. It only takes about an hour and the highway toll is 23 yuan. There is a place to park near the museum, so friends who drive can rest assured.
In terms of visiting hours, it is open from 9:00 to 17:00 from Tuesday to Sunday, and tickets are stopped and the museum is closed at 16:00. It is closed on Mondays (except for statutory holidays and special circumstances).
The recommended order of visit for the entire museum is to start from the second floor and visit in the order of the museum numbers. Each exhibition hall is very wonderful, especially the exhibition during the Song and Jin periods, which restores the architectural models and life scenes of that prosperous period, making people feel as if they have traveled back to that era. The dynamic Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival is even more breathtaking. The perfect combination of technology and art allows people to interact with the characters in the painting, as if they were in the painting.
The special exhibition series on the first floor is also worth a look. The impressive exhibition halls include 'Painting Rhyme Year Abundant - Kaifeng Zhuxian Town Woodblock New Year Picture Art Exhibition', the Bao Da Ren on the New Year's picture is extremely cute; 'Auspicious Opening Purple Forbidden - Ming and Qing Royal Articles Exhibition', which shows the exquisite beauty of royal articles; 'Song Dynasty Technology Exhibition', which introduces the brilliant achievements of the Song Dynasty in technology.
In addition, the recently popular Kaifeng Museum passport activity is also very interesting. After purchasing the passport, if you collect the 9 stamps on the passport and take a photo with the corresponding cultural relics and post it on social media, you can get a cultural and creative gift.
The entire visit process takes about 2 hours, but it leaves people wanting more. This trip to the Kaifeng Museum not only allowed me to deeply understand the history and culture of Kaifeng, but also let me experience the surprise brought by a free and fun attraction. If you come to Kaifeng for a tour, be sure to arrange this free and fun attraction!
