The Pharaoh's Kingdom exhibition shows the origin and development of ancient Egypt. Through a series of cultural relics and detailed text introductions, we learned that the ancient Egyptian civilization originated in the Nile River Basin. The regular flooding of the Nile brought fertile soil to this land, giving birth to the agricultural civilization of ancient Egypt. Over time, ancient Egypt gradually formed a unified country and established a complex political system.

#chinatrip My visit to the Shanghai Museum was a fascinating adventure through China's rich cultural heritage. With a collection of over 120,000 artifacts, this world-class museum showcases the country's most precious treasures. From ancient bronzes and jade carvings to intricate porcelain and calligraphy, each exhibit reveals a story of China's history and artistry. The museum's sleek design and interactive displays make for an engaging and immersive experience. With so much to explore, I left with a deeper appreciation for China's enduring legacy and a desire to return and uncover more of its secrets. A must-visit destination for anyone curious about China's captivating past!

Chinese bronzes mainly refer to various objects formed from copper and tin through smelting and forging from the late Xia dynasty to the Qin and Han periods. The Chinese Bronze Age began around 2000 BC, spanning the Xia, Shang, Western Zhou, Spring and Autumn, Warring States, and Qin-Han periods, covering nearly 15 centuries. It is an important part of Chinese culture, with significant historical and aesthetic value, especially the bronzes from the Shang and Zhou periods. The culture of bronzes was at the core of the Xia, Shang, and Zhou dynasties, where the ritual vessels of the Shang and Zhou eras held both cultural and extremely high artistic value.

In the Land of the Pharaohs exhibition area, there is a map of ancient Egypt, which shows the country along the Nile River. There is also a timeline of ancient Egyptian history and its corresponding Chinese history. This exhibition area mainly displays ancient Egyptian royal power, divine power, and related pyramids and temples, stone carvings, pottery, stone tools, bone tools, jewelry, painted coffins, etc. Ancient Egypt also has hieroglyphic inscriptions similar to those of ancient Chinese people. It is said that three languages were used to tell the same thing but with different emphases. Chinese characters have been in use all the time. Nearly one third of the oracle bone inscriptions discovered in our country's archaeological excavations have not been deciphered. In fact, I find it difficult to understand how a dead language is deciphered. Each pharaoh's stone carving is very exquisite. It feels like the stone is carved out of granite. The ability of the ancient Egyptians is indeed very strong.

Day 1: From Shenyang to Hangzhou, take the subway from the airport directly to the hotel near Longxiangqiao subway station, then take a taxi to visit the Silk Museum, and make an appointment at any time. At 4 o'clock, we took a taxi to my grandma's house opposite the Broken Bridge and had dinner. The second picture was taken at the hotel. As far as the scenic spot is concerned, the taste was okay. After dinner, we walked along the Broken Bridge and the residual snow to the Yuewang Temple to watch "The Most Reminiscent of Hangzhou". It is worth watching. The earlier you make a reservation, the better the seat will be. See Figure 4. The next day: The half-day trip to West Lake arranged by Ctrip is directly operated by Ctrip and there is no additional consumption. They also provided some tea and made round fans. We visited the Yuewang Temple again. In the afternoon, we took the high-speed train to Suzhou and checked into a B&B on Pingjiang Road, which is very close to the Humble Administrator’s Garden and Suzhou Museum. We visited Pingjiang Road and Guanqian Street in the evening. (The B&B environment is slightly worse but the location is excellent) Day 3: Book Humble Administrator’s Garden tickets with a guide on Ctrip. Be sure to find a guide, otherwise it will be like visiting a park. Just outside the south gate of the Humble Administrator's Garden is the Suzhou Museum. (You need to make an appointment in advance.) You can rent a guide at the door. The museum is not very big and can be visited in two hours. We had lunch on the way back to the B&B, it was delicious. The weather was too hot, so I took my baby back to the B&B to take a nap. I went to Qili Shantang in the evening. There were so many people there, so I decided to visit Pingjiang Road again. Day 4: In the morning, we visited Hanshan Temple in one hour. Suzhou’s small bridges, flowing water, pink walls and black tiles are really eye-catching. There are many beauties taking photos on Pingjiang Road. The weather was too hot and I didn’t want to bother my kids so I didn’t take any pictures, which is a little regretful. In the afternoon, we took a bus to a B&B near Shanghai Disneyland. (Advantages of the B&B: pick-up and drop-off, nice environment and swimming pool. Disadvantages: without supporting facilities, you can only eat instant noodles when you come back from Disneyland.) Day 5: Departure from Disneyland at 7 o’clock. I want to say that it’s a bit too much to post a separate article. Day 6: Check into a hotel-style B&B very close to Nanjing Road and the Bund at noon. The location is excellent and the environment is very good. The most important thing is that you can see the Oriental Pearl Tower from the room. I went to the Natural History Museum in the afternoon. It’s worth taking your children to see it. Be sure to rent an interpreter. The Zhending Chicken we had for dinner is really something Northeastern people can’t get used to. Day 7: Planetarium, I didn’t get a ticket, so I bought a study group ticket from Ctrip. It’s money well spent. Recommend the planetarium. Day 8: Shanghai Museum in the morning (reservation in advance) Fudan University in the afternoon, enter directly by swiping your ID card. Had dinner at Fudan Beiyuan Canteen. (Ride a shared bicycle on campus) Super convenient. Day 9: Visit the Imperial City Temple➕After dinner in Yu Garden, go straight to the airport 🔚 (I visit the well-known shops on the Bund and Nanjing Road every night, so I won’t talk about it separately)
